The types of aircraft manufactured by companies in this industry include blimps, gliders, helicopters, target drones, ultra-light aircraft and unmanned and robotic aircrafts.
Additive manufacturing is continuously evolving and manufacturers are now using 3D printing technology to produce parts for aircrafts and aircraft engines. 3D printing creates a three-dimensional physical object using a digital design. They are 25% lighter, simpler and offer more design features than conventional parts. This enables manufacturers to create high performance aircraft engines and components.
