Throughout their lifespan aircraft have to be visually inspected during planned maintenance, as requested by manufacturers, or after unscheduled events such as lightning strikes. This is a long, costly, dangerous process.
We offer an automated drone solution enabling quick, safe and reliable inspections, combining drone technology with an intuitive damage annotation software.
Our solution is operational on Airbus, Boeing and Embraer narrowbody families.
One drone flight, several job cards;
Inspect a narrowbody in less than 1 hour
Stay safe on ground and let the drone access aircraft upper surfaces
All data and past reports stored on the cloud and easy to share, no more paper
After a quick training, your team is fully autonomous to use the drone whenever needed
”Technicians take approximately 10 to 12 hours for a visual inspection manually and the drone can complete the task in under an hour. It creates a brand new data source that we've never really retained before.

”Tested and approved through The MRO Lab, the innovation program of AFI KLM E&M, the solution developed with Donecle is now used for more than 2 years on the Air France fleet. The drone inspections performed by our technicians allow with one single operation to control several items (as stickers, paint, lightning strikes,…)"
James Kornberg, innovation directorAFI KLM E&M
”This is a project that reinforces our pioneering approach in Latin America for the implementation of a brand new aircraft inspection method. It is a privilege having the opportunity to test this advanced technology, which has already helped us gain efficiency and elevated our Quality and Safety standards.

”Our aspiration at Austrian Technik is to stay up-to-date when it comes to new developments. Innovative systems such as these drones perfectly support us to further enhance our stability in flight operations and avoid flight cancellations.
