The GKN Aerospace Clinic Team is designing, implementing, and testing a new software system to locate and quantify optical distortions in cockpit windows, fighter jet canopies, and other aircraft transparencies. The software uses modern computer vision and data analysis tools to improve upon the industry standard for optical distortion mapping. GKN Aerospace will use our solution to prevent expensive damage on aircraft canopies and achieve higher product quality.
