Abstract
An ultrasonic testing device performs flaw detection on a stringer having an inner circumferential surface of a substantially rectangular shape closed in a transverse section. The ultrasonic testing device includes: a shoe configured to be in contact with a corner of the inner circumferential surface of the stringer; an ultrasonic array configured to be fixed to the shoe to define, together with the shoe and the corner a medium space in which a contact medium used for propagating an ultrasonic wave is enclosed, and configured to transmit an ultrasonic wave to the corner and receive a reflected ultrasonic wave; and a forcing unit configured to be in contact with a corner and push the shoe against the corner.
