To provide an information acquisition unit which acquires not only airframe related information from the above while flying, but acquires also airframe related information from an airframe surface using an inspection device traveling on a grounding part, although the inspection device cannot secure airspace for flying near the grounding part on the aircraft, for example, in the vicinity of a surface on a lower side of a fuselage.SOLUTION: An inspection device 100 for inspecting an aircraft includes: one or more rotary wings 30; traveling wheels 9; and an information acquisition unit 6 for acquiring airframe related information that is information related to an airframe from the airframe, while the inspection device flies or travels in the periphery of the airframe 70 of the aircraft.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】情報取得部は、飛翔しながら上方から機体関連情報を取得できることはもちろん、航空機における接地部近傍、例えば、胴体下方側の表面付近を検査装置が飛翔する空域が確保できなくても、検査装置が接地部を走行することによって機体表面から機体関連情報を取得できる。【解決手段】航空機を検査する検査装置１００であって、１つ以上の回転翼３０と、走行用の車輪９と、検査装置が航空機の機体７０の周囲を飛翔中または走行中に、機体から機体に関する情報である機体関連情報を取得する情報取得部６と、を備える。【選択図】図２
