@JakeFleshner Automated inspections

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

The hangar of 2030 won't have technicians manually mapping dents with calipers. The data will be in the maintenance system before the inspector closes the panel. That infrastructure is being built now, by the people willing to do the unsexy work.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

Dent inspection on a commercial aircraft still takes 15+ minutes per dent. A 737 returning from a hailstorm can have hundreds. That's days of measurement before maintenance can even decide if the plane flies.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

At @UltraviewAI we built a handheld depth sensor that does the measurement in under 10 seconds. Same accuracy as the lab-grade structured light scanners that cost six figures. Pulled out of a toolbox. Used at the aircraft.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

Depth imaging changes the math. Structured light projects a known pattern onto the surface, captures the deformation in 3D, computes depth and width with sub-millimeter accuracy. No contact. No interpolation. Actual geometry, every time.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

Every minute that aircraft sits on the ground is lost revenue. Southwest, Delta, United all run on the same workflow. Calipers, depth gauges, allowable damage charts. The measurement bottleneck delays return-to-service, sometimes for days.

@rdominguezibar @speedrun Just DM'd!

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@dillon_dunteman @hyperion__cap Congrats! We need more deep tech VC's!

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@E_Bruxxx @OfficialBBrooks Shaking up something boring but crazy in aviation!

@_Faraz Where do I send the deck?

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@darrenmarble This is evil ha. But I would do Runway, friendly board, supportive significant other.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@bscholl This is disgusting. These women-hating dirtbags couldn't even fly a plane.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@ashugarg Congrats yall!

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@ramiabih @jefielding @alexiskold I found myself in this box too. Honestly, just reducing raise expectations and focusing on raising enough money to reach the next milestone has been my reprieve.

I'm getting more traction on the raise with that approach.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@ironcarbs @jefielding I choose to quit raising, too. No point in banging your head against a wall when you have a clear signal of what needs to be accomplished before raising.

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@E_Bruxxx Who writes checks and has the time horizon to invest in aerospace companies? Asking for a friend…I’m the friend

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@garrytan It’s so bad! Like, why did Apple do this?!

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@bznotes I just cant

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

Hey @HF0Residency, I just applied to the extended opening with @UltraviewAI. AI image is a little wonky, but let's go!

[Colby Harvey @colbster95]

@RealEmirHan @MovieAtlasApp Such a great movie! So good
