An ultrasound scanning assembly is configured to inspect a structure, such as a composite winglet of an aircraft. The ultrasound scanning assembly may include an outer ultrasound probe configured to be positioned on an outer surface of the structure. The outer ultrasound probe includes a phased array transducer having a plurality of transducer elements. An inner ultrasound probe is configured to be positioned within the structure opposite from the outer surface. The inner ultrasound probe includes a single element transducer configured to receive ultrasound signals transmitted by the phased array transducer.
