Borescope Inspection in Aviation: How to Choose a Borescope Camera

Borescope Inspection in Aviation: How to Choose a Borescope Camera

The world’s first aircraft engine was a comparatively simple gasoline-powered, internal-combustion design. And while it provided enough power for the Wright brothers’ 1903 flyer to achieve the world’s first heavier than air, self-propelled flight, new advances in the burgeoning field of aviation quickly outpaced this rudimentary design. Today’s aircraft systems are significantly more complex. As such, repairs and maintenance demand more complex tools. Consider the borescope. What Is a Borescope, and How Is it Used?…
