Aerospace industry is one of the most advanced and important fields of NDT applications. Except quality inspection of structural part production, non-destructive testing is widely used in the case of fatigue evaluation of aircraft structure. Classic non-destructive inspection for structural defects is a vital component of testing and maintenance. Nondestructive evaluation is opening the door to precise presentation of fatigue test results. The effort to increase fatigue life of aircraft structures leads to an advanced design philosophy, which permits a fatigue crack being initiated during service. With aging aircraft the increase in damage detection is an important and difficult task. Also new is the issue of crack growth management. A schedule of structure inspections is established for aircraft in service and critical points are checked by NDT during maintenance.
