Drone Makes Physical Contact with Surface to Perform Non-Destructive Testing

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Johan Mlouka, the Vice President for Sales at Voliro. The company’s drone is designed to make physical contact with a surface at any angle in order to perform non-destructive testing: Measuring the thickness of metallic structural elements to confirm that they meet the minimum tolerance for safe operation. It has its application in large-scale industrial settings, such as oil and gas development, chemical processing and maritime applications. The Voliro drone is designed to replace human inspectors doing hands-on testing of materials in dangerous environments that would otherwise require scaffolding, rope repelling or other potentially hazardous and time-consuming activities.
