Print Your Own Plane

I've done a couple of posts on 3D printing and this is an update on this fast moving innovation.

Two University of Virginia engineering students have use 3D printing to make an plane, not full size, but very impressive none the less. It all came about when they created a turbofan engine using the technology and then posted a video of it on youtube.

Executives at MITRE Corporation saw the video and offered them the summer job of making the plane.
