LUCIE, a noncontact, non-destructive, laser-ultrasound machine, will be tested on a composite fuselage section at Technocampus in France to determine its production feasibility. On Oct. 20, Technocampus (Pays de la Loir region, France), the R&D teams of Airbus Nantes, EADS Innovation Works (IW) and Ecole des Mines, took delivery of LUCIE, a noncontact, non-destructive, laser-ultrasound machine that will be used to detect sub-surface flaws in composite aerostructures.
Technical Diagnostics is the science to find machine/ material defects in order to provide safety and reliability, economical efficiency with high quality products and services. Non destructive testing (NDT) is one of the most important parts of technical diagnostics. In this blog you can find out many things about Technical diagnostics, mostly connected with the Civil Aviation.
