Traverse City's ViewTech Borescopes to Showcase Inspection Tech at VERTICON 2026

ViewTech Borescopes, the Traverse City manufacturer that builds cameras small enough to thread inside a jet engine, opened at booth B3402 at VERTICON 2026 in Atlanta on Monday, bringing its VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes to what organizers call the world's largest conference and trade show dedicated to the vertical aviation industry.

The four-day event, hosted by Vertical Aviation International and running through March 12, draws thousands of aviation professionals, operators, manufacturers, and maintenance specialists. For ViewTech, the show is a direct showcase of technology designed to let maintenance crews peer inside engines, gearboxes, and airframes without the costly disassembly that a traditional inspection requires.

"VERTICON brings together the professionals responsible for building, flying, maintaining, and supporting vertical aircraft," said Zack Wessels, ViewTech's senior sales consultant. "We're excited to demonstrate how ViewTech's video borescopes can support aviation maintenance teams by providing clear, precise internal inspections without the need for teardown."

The VJ-3 and VJ-4 models are built specifically for remote visual inspection work inside critical aircraft components. According to the company, the units help technicians improve maintenance efficiency, reduce downtime, and make informed maintenance decisions while meeting safety standards. The pitch at booth B3402 is hands-on: ViewTech is offering live demonstrations under the banner "Try Before You Buy," letting maintenance professionals and MRO operators handle the equipment before committing.

VERTICON is not ViewTech's only trade-show stop this month. The company returned for its fourth consecutive year at the American Clean Power Association's Operations, Maintenance and Safety Conference at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, which ran March 4-6, where ViewTech staffed booth 529 with the same borescope lineup aimed at the wind energy maintenance sector.

The back-to-back appearances signal an active push by the northern Michigan company into both the vertical aviation and clean energy maintenance markets, with Atlanta this week as the larger of the two stages.
