The corrosion of airframe structures is a serious problem that has economic, performance and safety consequences for both military and civilian fleets. The detection and repair of corrosion in airframe structures is time consuming and leads to delays in aircraft availability, hence, hindering the mission of the Air Force. Through the use of evanescent microwave probes (EMP), it is possible to image the onset of corrosion in large areas of metals and alloys used in military aircrafts.
