Google sends fleet of planes to create 3D map of Earth Google Inc. is deploying a fleet of small, camera-equipped airplanes above several cities By National Post Wire Services Published Jun 07, 2012 ...

The first Airbus plane to use a part made with a 3D printer took off in 2014. The component was a small titanium bracket, part of the pylon used to hold the aircraft’s heavy engine in place.

Google detailed how it is planning on bringing better 3D maps: “This starts with planes equipped with custom Google-designed imaging systems, positioned in coordinates,” Birch explained.

However, 3D printing does not stop with planes - engineers are also looking to use it in space. The European Space Agency (ESA) are planning to launch their Ariane 6 rocket in 2020, which is set ...

An Airbus designer is drawing up plans to create a plane from a 3D printer the size of an aircraft hanger by 2050. Airbus employee Bastian Schafer envisions an 80-metre-long aircraft with a curved ...

When it comes to aerospace, interest in 3D printed planes and rockets is climbing, as the technology is currently being used to build complex parts across the aerospace, military, and space sectors.

Google has used airplanes to collect aerial photos in the past, such as following the 2010 San Bruno, Calif. gas-line explosion, but the latest effort marks the first time the company will deploy ...

In this paper, a characterisation is given of finite s-arc transitive Cayley graphs with s ≥ 2. In particular, it is shown that, for any given integer k with k ≥ 3 and k ≠ 7, there exists a finite set ...
