Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the invention include an inspection system to inspect internal components of a compressor (18) of a gas turbine engine (12). The inspection system includes an image recording assembly (50) having one or more image recording devices (54), light sources (56), storage devices (58), and power supplies (60). The image recording assembly (50) may be inserted into a compressor (18) without removal of the compressor housing (34) or disassembly of the compressor (18). The image recording assembly (50) may be removably coupled to a rotary component (30) of the compressor (18), e.g., a rotor blade, and used to record images of stationary components (36), e.g., stator vanes, of the compressor (18). The images may be inspected to identify wear and/or defects in the stationary components (36), e.g., stator vanes.
