Project Announcement: Wing Optimization for Manufacturability

The US Air Force is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to redesign the wing of a legacy aircraft, keeping the same aerodynamic and structural performance, while optimizing manufacturability. The initiative would utilize the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) design approach, focused on optimizing the design to reduce manufacturing and assembly time to increase production rate.
