Princeton Junction, NJ – April 2008 – MISTRAS Group Inc. announces the delivery of a NDT Automation UltraPAC Scanning UT System to Boeing Phantom Works, the advanced research and development unit at Boeing. Boeing is the worlds leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined.
The UltraPAC Scanning UT System is part of the NDT product line of immersion inspection and gantry systems. The 48″ by 36″ system includes the X, Y, Z axis and uses the UltraWin CScan based software.

With the addition of the UltraPAC system, Boeing will have the capability to test parts in immersion mode, thru transmission (TTU) squirter mode and non-contact (air coupled) mode. This system is the first tank purchased from NDT Automation for Boeing Phantom Works.

“The UltraPAC will allow Phantom Works to do their own research and development of composites for both military as well as the 787,” said Dr. Gary Georgeson, NDE Technical Fellow of the Boeing Phantom Works. This system will not only increase Boeings ability to support current Boeing programs, but also contribute to future programs.
