Airbus Automates A340/350/380 Composite Nose Cowl Inspection Using Nikon Metrology Laser Radar
ApplicA tion cAse Every micron counts when high in the sky, massive airflows are sucked into the jet engine inlets. The size and sophistication of composite jet engine inlet cowls for Airbus A340/350/380 aircraft call for a dedicated metrology approach. To inspect inlet cowl form and assembly, Airbus opted for a Laser Radar inspection cell that turns around inspection in a fast and automated fashion. Inlet cowl measurements are needed to det
