MISTRAS Group Inc. announces the delivery of a NDT Automation UltraPAC Scanning UT System to Boeing Phantom Works, the advanced research and development unit at Boeing. Boeing is the world's leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined.

The UltraPAC Scanning UT System is part of the NDT product line of immersion inspection and gantry systems. The 48" by 36" system includes the X, Y, Z axis and uses the UltraWin™ CScan based software.
