Ultrasound You Can See — Purpose-Built for Aviation Maintenance
FOTRIC acoustic imaging cameras pair dense MEMS digital microphone arrays with a 13 MP optical camera to visualize ultrasonic sound in real time. Pinpoint compressed air and bleed-air leaks, cabin pressurization losses, hydraulic and fuel line faults, and partial discharges on aviation ground-support electrical equipment — all with a handheld camera. Choose the model that fits your range, workflow, and budget.

Field Validation
(FOTRIC H6) outperformed all of them (Fluke ii905 and TPI 9050). I love this thing. The form factor is amazing, but the picture/resolution is incredible. I don’t think I can go back to the other devices.

Which Boeing tasks call out an acoustic camera?
Pick your airplane model to see the Boeing AMM tasks that call out tool tag COM-18702 (Digital Camera – Acoustic). FOTRIC H-Series imagers are offered as approved equivalents under airline tool-equivalency programs.
Additional model coverage pending Boeing tool-details review. Only tasks confirmed from the Boeing AMM are listed here.
Adoption requires the operator's own Part 145 tool-equivalency documentation and quality-organization sign-off. Task numbers vary by minor model and revision — always follow your operator's current AMM / FIM.
