Beneath the Surface: X-Rays in Aerospace, Infrastructure & Industry
Beneath the surface of our world, there’s a hidden network of safety checks powered by X-rays — not in hospitals, but in hangars, pipelines, bridges, and even ancient fossils. In this episode, we explore the invisible world of non-destructive testing (NDT), where radiographic imaging isn’t diagnosing broken bones — it’s preventing catastrophic failures in the systems that keep our modern lives running. From airplane wings and engine mounts to high-pressure pipelines and crumbling infrastructure, discover how powerful imaging technology reveals microscopic flaws long before they become disasters. Whether it’s inspecting a weld deep in a remote oil line or scanning the remains of a dinosaur for clues from the past, NDT uses X-ray vision to protect our future. Join us as we shine a light on the quiet heroes of industrial radiography — the inspectors, the innovations, and the imaging that keeps us flying, driving, and living safely every day.
