Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate automating fault isolation of flight control surfaces and damage detection of aircraft are provided. In one embodiment, a system 100 utilizes a processor 102 that executes computer implemented components stored in memory 104. One or more sensors 106 monitor wing and flight control surface from one or more vantage points to obtain full coverage of the wing. A machine vision component 108 assesses condition of the wing and the flight control surface based on results of the one or more sensors 106. A spectrographic component 110 detects leaks by monitoring airflow for traces of fuel or hydraulic fluid.
