July 1. 6) . Naval Air Systems Command Public Affairs. NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Maryland – Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) marked its first successful flight demonstration of a flight critical aircraft component built using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques here July 2. An MV- 2. 2B Osprey completed a test flight outfitted with a titanium, 3- D printed link and fitting assembly for the engine nacelle. This link and fitting assembly is one of four that secure a V- 2. The flight was performed using the standard V- 2. The flight went great. I never would have known that we had anything different onboard,” said MV- 2. Project Officer Maj. Travis Stephenson, who piloted the flight. AM uses digital 3- D design data to build components in layers of metal, plastic and other materials. The metal link and fitting assembly for this test event were printed at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, New Jersey. Prior to this flight, multiple V- 2. Lakehurst and Penn State Applied Research Laboratory were tested at Patuxent River to validate performance.“The flight today is a great first step toward using AM wherever and whenever we need to. It will revolutionize how we repair our aircraft and develop and field new capabilities – AM is a game changer,” said Liz Mc. Michael, AM Integrated Product Team lead. In the last 1. 8 months, we’ve started to crack the code on using AM safely. We’ll be working with V- 2. V- 2. 2 aircraft.”Naval Aviation has employed additive manufacturing as a prototyping tool since the early 1. Today’s demonstration is the first time a U. S. Navy aircraft flew with an AM part deemed essential to maintaining safe flight. Navy officials envision a future where all parts can be made on- demand globally by fleet maintainers and operators, and our industry partners — stocking digital data instead of ordering, stocking and shipping parts. Today’s flight is an important step toward achieving that vision. Including the V- 2. Mc. Michael and her team have identified six additional safety- critical parts they plan to build and test over the next year for three U. S. Marine Corps rotorcraft platforms – the V- 2. H- 1 and CH- 5. 3K. Three of the parts will be made out of titanium, while the other three will be stainless steel. Even with the success of today’s flight, NAVAIR officials advise that there is a lot work to do before deployed aircraft are flying in theater with 3- D printed, safety- critical parts.“Our AM team has done some incredible work in a relatively short period of time — both internally through its production of aircraft components to be used in flight testing and externally through its liaison with industry and other government organizations,” said Vice Adm. Paul A. Grosklags, NAVAIR commander. Although the flight today is a great step forward, we are not trying to ‘lead’ industry in our AM efforts, but it is absolutely critical that we understand what it takes to successfully manufacture and qualify AM parts for flight in naval aircraft, which we expect will largely be manufactured by our industry partners. Where I believe we can ‘lead’ industry is in the development of the AM “digital thread,” from initial design tools all the way to the flight line — securely maintained and managed through the life of an aircraft program.”http: //www. NAVAIRNews. Story& id=6. Osprey Takes To The Sky With 3- D Printed Critical Parts(NAVY TIMES, 1 Aug 1. Meghann Myers. 3- D printed parts have been used in Navy aircraft for years, but they’ve been mostly structural, not the safety parts that could mean the difference between flying and crashing. That was until Friday, when Naval Air Systems Command held its first flight demonstration of an aircraft – a MV- 2. Osprey – with a 3- D printed, metal link and fitting assembly for the engine housing.“The flight went great,” said MV- 2. Marine Maj. Travis Stephenson said in a Navy release. I never would have known that we had anything different onboard.”While it’s an Air Force and Marine Corps vertical- lift aircraft now, the Navy has tapped the Osprey as its next carrier on- board delivery vehicle in the 2. The military has dabbled in 3- D printing since the early 1. Critical parts are a new addition. The process, also known as additive manufacturing, uses plastic, metal or other materials to fashion objects from detailed plans uploaded to a computer. With more facilities and better designs and technology, it could one day allow maintainers to quickly build their own parts rather than having to rely on the parts inventory in the supply system. The service owns some of its own printers, but, NAVAIR’s boss said in the release, in the future will probably contract for a lot of its 3- D printing needs.“Where I believe we can ‘lead’ industry is in the development of the AM ‘digital thread,’ from initial design tools all the way to the flight line – securely maintained and managed through the life of an aircraft program,” Vice Adm. Paul Grosklags said. The parts in the recent test were printed at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Joint Base Mc. Guire- Dix- Lakehurst, New Jersey, where the Navy has worked with Penn State Applied Research Laboratory to make non- critical Osprey parts.“The flight today is a great first step toward using AM wherever and whenever we need to. It will revolutionize how we repair our aircraft and develop and field new capabilities – AM is a game changer,” said Liz Mc. Michael, AM integrated product team lead, in the release. Over the past year and a half, she added, her team has made major progress in printing critical parts, and there are plans to use the parts on any Osprey.“Navy officials envision a future where all parts can be made on- demand globally by fleet maintainers and operators, and our industry partners – stocking digital data instead of ordering, stocking and shipping parts,” according to the release. Mc. Michael and her team have plans to build six more safety- critical parts for the Osprey as well as the H- 1 Huey and the CH- 5. K King Stallion helicopters.
