It is flown using an  automatic flight control system supervised by a human pilot. The  Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) follows a predetermined flight path and  takes a series of pictures automatically. All these images and especially those showing any potential non-quality  such as scratches, dents and painting defects, are compiled in a 3D  digital model, recorded in a database and then analysed. This data helps  improve traceability, prevention and reduction of damage.<img src="http://www.adsadvance.co.uk/media/images/2016%20Summer/Airbus_3D_digital_model_based_on_drone_pic1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />: Airbus 3D digital model based on drone pictures. The benefits of this innovative tool and process are significant.  Aircraft downtime for inspection is reduced. Data acquisition by drone  only takes 10 to 15 minutes, instead of two hours using conventional  methods. “The use of this new technology offers better working conditions  including improving the safety and comfort for the quality inspectors”,  says Nathalie Ducombeau, Airbus head of quality. Operators no longer need to go up on a telescopic handler to perform the  visual inspection, sometimes in poor weather conditions. In addition,  picture analysis can be done anytime afterwards and in an office. Aircraft visual inspections are an important part of the production process. It is part of the Airbus quality standards.A full-scale industrial test is being conducted on A330 aircraft. Airbus is working on implementation on other programmes.</blockquote>
