Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E) is one of the major requirements related to the complete lifecycle of aerostructures. Almost all the components have to pass through various Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) quality assurance procedures and need to be inspected by NDT at defined intervals. For damage tolerant design used in aviation, NDT is a prerequisite. Appropriate use of NDT guarantees safety in aerospace and is thus a subject of highest attention.
Although aerospace industries have to clearly stick to certified NDT procedures, there is a large amount of technology being currently developed within the engineering science discipline, which is worth discussions with respect to their application potential. The widespread use of emerging materials such as CFRP composites or ceramics as well as new manufacturing processes for aerospace structural components such as additive manufacturing has also given rise to many new questions regarding the materials reliability and manufacturing methods in the light of NDT&E, from a research as well as a manufacturing and assembly and maintenance point of view.
To communicate latest R&D achievements to industrial applicants on the one hand, to discuss advanced and improved methods and to understand the needs for inspection and maintenance both with scientists as well as industrial researchers on the other the International Symposium for NDT in Aerospace (AeroNDT) was established in 2008 and has been organised on a nearly annual basis since 2010. It is run in places worldwide where aerospace has a home including Hamburg/ Germany, Montreal/ Canada, Augsburg/ Germany, Singapore, Madrid/ Spain, Bremen/Germany, Bengaluru/India, Xiamen/China, Dresden/Germany, Paris/France, Williamsburg/ USA and Busan/ South Korea so far.
The 15th edition of this symposium Aero NDT 2026 is now to be held at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad/India between November 14 and 17, 2026 jointly with NDE-2026. The main theme of this joint conference is Aerospace and Defence. This is a unique opportunity for attendees, exhibitors and speakers, because a community of 1500+ attendees is addressed and 100+ exhibitors can be visited with all their technology being presented verbally and in hardware. A strong focus will be laid on Aerospace Certification and Digital Transformation jointly run as special sessions between AeroNDT2026 and NDE 2026. A highlight of the symposium is also technical visits to aerospace and defence related industries in the Hyderabad area focussing specifically on their interests in NDT/NDE.
The 15th edition, Aero NDT 2026, will be held jointly with NDE-2026.
