The famous fighter plane of the French army, the Rafale, has been faithfully reproduced by the company ASA at 1/6 scale. It takes flight up to 280 Km/h and more than 50 parts that compose it are 3D printed. (Indeed, this aircraft with its exceptional look and performance can withstand a force of up to 7G and has a 3 liter fuel tank).
3D printing has made it possible to save a considerable amount of time on the production of parts with a high quality finish and strong mechanical resistance.
