Aircraft are extremely robust and advanced vehicles, capable of allowing individuals to traverse the globe in times never before thought possible. Additionally, aircraft can benefit countless applications and industries ranging from agriculture to defense. With the complexity in design that enables aircraft to withstand the extreme forces and maintain heavier-than-air flight, they require high amounts of precision any time they are worked on whether it is for manufacturing or maintenance. To ensure that installations and changes to the aircraft are always precise, engineers require a number of measuring instruments to accommodate varying needs. As certain areas of the aircraft may require specific tools, being familiar with common types is crucial for anyone working in the aerospace industry.
