Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

GKN Aerospace engineering and manufacturing crew with the 3D-printed fan case mount ring component of Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. GKN Aerospace is expanding its Newington, Conn., facility to shift ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as a ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Tech. Sgt. Tylar Cravens believes he has an idea that could change the way the Air Force trains aircraft maintainers, and he’ll soon pitch it to top leaders at the Pentagon.
