    Determination of the geometry of aircraft surfaces has always been an extremely complicated task, though it is very important for the aerodynamic properties of the entire aircraft or its parts (like wings, body, rudders, etc.). Measurement of the geometrical properties of aircraft parts is especially difficult due to the smoothness of their surfaces. Here in this paper a short review of two methods of determining the shape of aircraft parts are given: one relies on determining point position by means of laser-based scanning and another relies on photogrammetry. A comparison of the results of both methods applied to the same aircraft element is also presented.
