Abstract
In an effort to reduce the time, costs, and health hazards involved with the inspection of aircraft fuel tanks, Lockheed Martin has commissioned the design of an autonomous inspection drone for fuel tanks to DSE Group 05 at the Aerospace Engineering faculty, Delft University of Technology. This report entails the conceptual design process of the autonomous robotic tank inspection system - or ARTIS - that has been designed in this endeavor.
