Borescopes are complex inspection tools, consisting of hardware, electronics, computing capabilities, optics and software. The basic components of a borescope kit include a probe or insertion tube to inspect places where it is difficult to see, small screen to maximize the view of a probe, light source to improve visibility of areas that need to be inspected, and different probe tips to allow for different viewing and measurements. Measurement capability limits the number of borescopes which can meet the USAF requirement. Borescopes are critical tools in the Air Force’s aircraft program as they facilitate internal engine inspections and are also commonly used for foreign object search and removal in cockpits and other areas of the aircraft. Borescopes enable maintainers to look inside the internal chambers of an engine without disassembling it. The commercial borescope is comprised of a variety of different configurations, sizes, and types.
