Aircraft printed on 3D-printer, can fly for 30 minutes and carry 0, 5 kg

Engineers from the UK announced the creation of the world's first "printed" aircraft. Unmanned aircraft have already been raised in the air, and its developers claim that the three-dimensional printing will produce a revolution in aviation.

UAV with a wingspan of 2 meters is composed of 14 major pieces printed. Aircraft SULSA (Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft) is only 10 minutes to complete the build and prepare for take-off without using any tools and fasteners. Charge the battery lasts for 30 minutes of flight at a maximum speed of 145 km / h when the payload to 0, 5 kg.

University of Southampton says that all the main parts of the device - the nose cone, cone, fuselage, wing and tail - were made of nylon printer EOSINT P730 German production company EOS.
