GE Aviation: High Accuracy, High Throughput Inspection Technologies Challenge

GE Aviation, a world-leading provider of jet engines, components and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft, is committed to the evolution of inspection technologies.

Currently, one of the most critical challenges in what is the fastest-growing installed base of jet engines in commercial aviation is to ensure that the methods used to inspect key components are as advanced as the new technologies themselves.

Aircraft production is particularly complex and demanding.  Components are precision crafted to tight tolerances, using high performance materials.  After production, every item is individually inspected to ensure compliance with quality standards. Skilled and careful assembly of inspected components results in safe and reliable aircraft.

GE Aviation is constantly striving to improve efficiency and believes that developing the next generation of high-speed, high precision inspection methods will further increase manufacturing efficiency.
