Design and development of a slender dual-structure continuum robot for in-situ aeroengine repair by Wang, Mingfeng, Palmer, David, Dong, Xin, Alatorre, David, Axinte, Dragos A., Norton, Andy

“…In-situ aeroengine maintenance works (e.g. inspection, repair) are highly beneficial as it can significantly reduce currently accepted maintenance cycle which is extensive and costly due to the need to remove engines from the wing of an aircraft. However, feeding in/out via inspection ports and performing a multi-axis movement of an end-effector in a very constrained environment such as aeroengine combustion chamber is a fairly challenging task. …”
