Extract

This paper is concerned especially with the reliability of inspection in the nondestructive testing of military aircraft structures. The first part considers design philosophies, examines how the requirements for inspection arise and highlights the difference between the approaches being adopted in the USA and in the UK.

The second part examines what data are already available on the reliability of inspection and discusses the UK programmes that are aimed at gathering more data.
