Same path
Scan
Drones fly the same path around fuselage, wings and tail, so this inspection compares with the last.
AEROSPACE
Keep them flying.
Every inspection finding, kept and comparable, across every tail. Inspectors make the call; Cantilever® makes sure nothing they see is lost.
HOW IT WORKS
Anyone can photograph a plane. Inspecting one is the hard part.
Exterior airframe inspection: fuselage, wings and tail, scanned the same way every time and kept in one record.
Scan-to-CAD
Model
Imagery lands on the aircraft’s own 3D model, so every finding has an address.
For review
Flag
Possible damage is flagged on the airframe. An inspector confirms, measures and records it.
Over time
Trend
Findings add up across the fleet. A dent too small to write up on one aircraft becomes a pattern across fifty.
Pattern recognition
One dent is a note. The same dent on fifty aircraft is a design question.
Cantilever® remembers.
Drones collect.
01 — Scan: Drones fly the same path around the airframe and collect imagery and geometry.
02 — Record: Every finding lands on the aircraft’s 3D model in Cantilever®, next to the last scan. It feeds your maintenance records; it doesn’t replace them.
03 — Decide: Inspectors confirm each finding. Engineers see what changed across the fleet and decide what to fix.
Why trust Gecko
Gecko inspects nuclear reactors, Navy ships and power plants, where a missed finding isn’t an option. We bring the same discipline to aircraft.
