DRONE VISUAL INSPECTION
Aviation expertise for a new generation of inspections.
Drone Visual Inspection (DVI) is a French company specialising in automated visual aircraft inspection by drone and technical assessment of aircraft structures.
Our ambition is to advance traditional inspection methods by combining automated image capture technology with hands-on aircraft maintenance expertise.
We support operators, maintenance organisations and business aviation professionals with inspection, technical analysis and structural maintenance.
WHY WAS DVI FOUNDED?
Modernising aircraft inspection while retaining hands-on expertise.
Aircraft visual inspection is an essential part of maintenance. It requires careful observation of surfaces, accurate documentation and in-depth knowledge of aircraft structures.
Faced with the access, time and organisational constraints of some traditional inspections, DVI was founded on a conviction: automated technologies can improve visual data capture while enhancing the skills of maintenance professionals.
Our approach brings together two complementary fields: automated drone inspection technology and technical expertise in aircraft structures.
The aim is to provide professionals with more structured, flexible inspection solutions suited to the operational realities of aircraft maintenance.
OUR CORE ACTIVITY: AUTOMATED DRONE INSPECTION
Specialist technology backed by aviation expertise.
DVI deploys automated drone inspection systems to capture high-resolution photographs of aircraft external surfaces.
These technologies facilitate observation and documentation of many airframe areas, including the fuselage, wings, tail surfaces and elevated or hard-to-reach surfaces.
Beyond image capture, our added value lies in technical analysis: identifying, locating and documenting visible anomalies according to each inspection's objectives and scope.
Our activity primarily serves business aviation professionals, with expertise developed particularly on Falcon aircraft.
A SECOND ACTIVITY: AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE
Technical skills drawn directly from the aircraft maintenance environment.
Alongside its core automated inspection activity, DVI offers specialist aircraft structural maintenance and repair services.
This complementary activity meets the needs of maintenance organisations and operators seeking technical skills for airframe work.
It also strengthens our inspection activity: our knowledge of aircraft structures and maintenance issues helps us better understand the observations made.
Maintenance work is organised in accordance with applicable technical data, authorisations and regulatory responsibilities.
SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO OUR CUSTOMERS' NEEDS
Every aviation organisation works differently, so our services adapt to your constraints.
DVI offers several forms of support:
-
Turnkey inspection: a one-off inspection with drone system deployment and delivery of the agreed outputs.
-
On-site drone deployment: a system installed at the customer's facility for recurring inspection requirements.
-
Remote technical assessment: analysis of existing photographic data without routinely deploying our teams.
-
Structural maintenance: specialist airframe maintenance and repair services.
-
Tailored solutions: assessment of specific projects requiring a customised technical or operational approach
Our aim is to provide a solution consistent with each customer's actual needs, without imposing a single delivery model.
A FRENCH COMPANY FOCUSED ON INNOVATION
Combining technological innovation, aviation discipline and close operational support.
DVI uses French automated inspection technology and develops its activities in collaboration with aviation industry stakeholders.
Our approach is built on three commitments:
Technical expertise
Applying our knowledge of aircraft structures to visual inspection and data analysis.
Operational discipline
Preparing each intervention according to the aircraft, site and applicable regulatory constraints.
Practical innovation
Integrating new technologies where they provide a concrete response to maintenance professionals' needs.
OUR VISION
Helping make automated inspection a recognised and accessible solution for aircraft maintenance professionals.
DVI aims to contribute to new inspection practices in which automated capture, visual documentation and human expertise complement one another.
Our ambition is to build lasting partnerships with operators, maintenance organisations and aviation industry stakeholders in France and internationally.
We believe the future of aircraft inspection depends on closer integration of technology, data and human skills.
