Photos: Airbus is using drones to inspect aircraft
A350 testing to finish this year, plans for full-fleet rollout.
Airbus showed off the fleet of drones it is using to inspect the condition of aircraft at the Farnborough Airshow last week.
The airline is using the AscTec Falcon 8 drone built by Ascending Technologies, which was acquired by Intel in January. The device was modified to include Intel's RealSense 3D camera tech to help it avoid collisions and navigate its way around the aircraft.
