The present invention consists of a method and a scanning system for the nonintrusive inspection of aircrafts. The nonintrusive control method, according to the invention, consists in using a tugging device attached to the aircraft's landing gear which tows the said aircraft over a detector line, said detector line fixed onto the runway and under a penetrating radiation source held by a telescopic boom fixed on a mobile scanning unit. The aircraft is towed with constant speed and electronically controlled in a secured and delimited perimeter. The system, according to the invention consists of a mobile scanning unit (MSU), controlled remotely by a towable mobile control center (11) (MCC). The system also includes an exclusion area a perimeter protection subsystem (9). The mobile scanning unit (MSU) consists of a telescopic boom (3) mounted in a two degree joint (4), said boom holding on its extremity a penetrating radiation source (5), said system further consisting in a detector line (7) fixed onto the runway and a tugging device which attaches to the aircraft's undercarriage. The mobile control center (11) is positioned outside the exclusion area a, and remotely commands all the processes involved in the nonintrusive inspection.
