Research abstract
Production and maintenance of high-performance military aircraft requires tools capable of providing highly accurate measurements on curved surfaces. Creare has developed the Fastener Measurement Tool (FMT) to quickly and reliably assess the depth of both filled and unfilled fasteners relative to the aircraft outer mold line. There is a need to add new modes to the FMT to measure hole countersink and outer mold line defects and transition these capabilities to both the production line and maintenance depots.
