The present invention relates to a nondestructive inspection (NDI) system, which comprises: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a main body structure; and at least one nondestructive inspection sensors integrated into each releasable end structure. The main body structure has at least one supporting structure. Moreover, the supporting structures have the releasable end structures. In addition, according to a structure to be inspected, the NDI system can include a position tracking system for determining position, orientation, or both of the position and orientation with respect to the UAV and/or the NDI sensors.

    본체 구조를 포함하는 무인 항공기("UAV") ― 본체 구조는 하나 또는 그보다 많은 지지 구조들을 포함하며, 하나 또는 그보다 많은 지지 구조들 각각은 해제 가능한 말단 구조를 포함함 ―; 및 각각의 해제 가능한 말단 구조에 통합된 하나 또는 그보다 많은 비파괴 검사("NDI") 센서들을 포함하는 NDI 시스템이 제공된다. NDI 시스템은 또한 검사되는 구조물에 대해 UAV 및/또는 하나 또는 그보다 많은 NDI 센서들에 대한 포지션, 배향, 또는 포지션과 배향 둘 다를 결정할 수 있는 위치 추적 시스템을 포함할 수 있다.
