Due to the rapid development of light weight materials for use in the aerospace industry, the test requirements for these materials and parts manufactured of them become more complex constantly. To meet these new and challenging requirements a single testing method is often not sufficient. Herein we present a multimodality approach by combining ultrasound testing, thermography and X-ray inspection. All presented measuring methods herein have advantages and limitations. But by combination of the results of each method we can increase the reliability in non destructive testing and therewith the safety, especially required in aerospace engineering. While the combination of ultrasound with X-ray or thermography with X-ray respectively is already in progress, the combination of ultrasound and thermography is an option still to be tested. Therefore it has to be checked whether the methods complement each other especially concerning their depth ranges.
