Borescope Technology Development
Abstract
Develop, integrate, and evolve borescope technologies to meet emergent jet engine inspection requirements. Current fielded engine borescopes are unable to measure required defects on aircraft turbine engine compressor blades to the accuracy required. Additionally, current legacy borescopes will not be supported by the original equipment manufacturer beyond FY22. Legacy borescopes are susceptible to damage due to the insertion tube not being detachable/removable. A detachable insertion tube would increase system availability and reduce repair costs. New borescope technology is needed to improve defect measurement accuracy and equipment supportability.
