Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for performing rotorcraft based non-destructive physical inspection and/or testing. In one example, a system includes a rotorcraft and a rotating arm coupled to the rotorcraft. An inspection sensor is coupled to a first end of the rotating arm and configured to be placed in close proximity to and/or in physical contact with a surface of an object.
