Shearography has been validated as fast and reliable inspection technique for composite materials in aerospace components. Following a several years phase of evaluation of the technique to show the principal applicability and prove the required sensitivity, now the first production lines for aerospace components have been equipped with automatic shearography inspection systems. In this paper, recent installations of automatic inspection systems in aerospace industries are presented.
