Abstract: A method for manufacturing small adaptive engines uses a battlefield repository having cloud services that is configured to enable additive manufacturing (AM) of engine parts and assemblies. The method also uses a compilation of recipes/signatures for building the engine parts and the assemblies using additive manufacturing (AM) processes and machine learning programs. An additive manufacturing system and an alloy powder suitable for performing the additive manufacturing (AM) processes can be provided. In addition, the engine parts can be built using the additive manufacturing (AM) system, the alloy powder, the battlefield repository and the compilation of recipes/signatures. A system for manufacturing small adaptive engines includes the battlefield repository, the compilation of recipes/signatures, a foundry system for providing the alloy powder and an additive manufacturing (AM) system configured to perform the additive manufacturing (AM) processes.

Abstract: An inspection system for acquiring images of an aircraft in a space is provided. The system comprises a plurality of imaging apparatuses positionable on an overhead structure in a ceiling space of an aircraft hangar, each imaging apparatus being positioned within the aircraft hangar such that each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses are configured to acquire images of sections of an aircraft positioned within the hangar, a computer system including an application viewer program configured to receive the transmitted images from each imaging apparatus, wherein the application viewer program is configured to generate a display of the acquired images of different sections of the aircraft.
