EADS CCR has tested advanced functions enabled by phased arrays for ultrasound testing of aeronautic parts. After a generic evaluation phase, various applications have been studied, such as die forging parts, welds, multilayered carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), etc. This paper is focused on CFRP as it is one of the major concerns for EADS manufacturing plants. For these materials, we foresee a great reduction of scanning time and/or a considerable improvement in the detection and sizing capabilities. EADS CCR has used innovative systems that are not only for laboratory work, which means that transfers to EADS Business Units and subcontractors are possible.
