The Death of Tactile Quality Control
Not long ago, quality assurance in aerospace was a narrow, hands-on process. Inspectors would physically verify installations: feeling the torque on bolts, tracing defects to their origin, and leaving behind ink-smudged paperwork as evidence of accountability. It was tactile, deliberate, and sometimes slower—but it worked.
