Multinational 8tree's aircraft repair technologies will be at Booth 4019. “Aircraft endure a lot of abuse,” the company says, given bird strikes, hail damage, ground support equipment collisions and debris kicked-up from the tires. Dents and dings “can keep an aircraft grounded ... bad for safety and bad for business.”
Enter 8tree’s dentCHECK tool, which allows technicians and structures engineers to perform fast damage-mapping.
