1. A method for analyzing test data from nondestructive evaluation of an aircraft comprising:
- generating a model of the aircraft, the model including an inspection point;
mapping the aircraft to the generated model to form a test model;
nondestructive testing an area of the aircraft that corresponds to the inspection point, thereby generating measurement test data;
storing the measurement test data with location data representative of the inspection point and the test model;
displaying the stored test model with the inspection point; and
displaying measurement test data associated with the inspection point.

Abstract
A method for analyzing test data from nondestructive evaluation of an aircraft includes generating a model of the aircraft with an inspection point. The aircraft is mapped to the model of the aircraft. Then, measurement data is generated by nondestructive testing an area of the aircraft corresponding to the inspection point. The measurement data is stored with associated location data of the inspection point and measurement parameters for comparison. The model of the aircraft with the inspection point is displayed. The measurement test data is displayed for a selected inspection position.

11. An apparatus for analyzing nondestructive testing data comprising:
-
a server computer configured to;
map an aircraft to a model of the aircraft;
determine an inspection point for the aircraft based on predetermined inspection points of the model of the aircraft; and
receive test data generated from one or more nondestructive tests of the aircraft at a test location corresponding to the inspection point;
a storage device coupled to the processor and configured to;
store the received test data with location data representative of the test location and chronological data representative of when the nondestructive testing was performed; and
a display device coupled to the processor and configured to;
display the model of the aircraft and the inspection point; and
display the received test data that corresponds to the inspection point. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
