Ensuring Flightworthiness with Ultrasonic Testing for Jets and Spacecraft

The speed of modern aircraft—whether passenger, commercial, or military—is far beyond what early aviators invented. The power of modern spacecraft exceeds even the boldest imaginations of early sci-fi writers. But speed and power come with a price: the aircraft has to be able to withstand incredible pressures without a single flaw. If something goes wrong, a catastrophe could follow. ...
