Apparatus, systems, and methods for inspecting a structure are provided
which permit inspection of uniquely shaped structures such as fuselage
frames and shear ties. Probes may be constructed from rapid prototyping.
Inspection may be performed manually and may use a portable function
support system for delivering fluid couplant, controlling transmit and
receive functions of the inspection sensors, and delivering immediate
visual analysis for an operator. Integrated ultrasonic inspection
apparatus, systems, and methods facilitate fast and efficient custom
inspection devices and inspecting otherwise difficult-to-inspect
structures.
