Aerospace Event 2019
9-10 April 2019, National Composites Centre, Bristol, UK
Following the success of the 2017 Aerospace Event in Cambridge, UK, the BINDT Aerospace and Composites Groups are continuing with their Aerospace Event in April 2019 at the National Composites Centre, Bristol, UK.
The theme of the 2019 Aerospace Event will be ‘NDT for aerospace certification of aircraft structures’. The event will present current research and developments in NDT for the certification of aircraft structures. Research topics will include multicopters for inspection, NDT reliability and future opportunities and challenges associated with NDT for aerospace certification within Industry 4.0. The event will be followed by a tour of the facilities at the NCC.
Day 1: Tuesday 9 April 2019
The first day will focus on research and developments in multicopters for inspection, NDT reliability, aero engine inspection and new NDT technologies. The event will be followed by a tour of the facilities at the NCC.
Day 2: Wednesday 10 April 2019
The second day will cover NDT of composites and NDT for aerospace certification within Industry 4.0, including research areas such as big data, remote NDT connectivity, automatic defect recognition and the future opportunities and challenges they present.
