Hypersonix Launch Systems cleared critical vibration tests for the DART AE, the world’s first entirely 3D-printed hypersonic airframe.

Originally reported by The Defense Post

Hypersonix Launch Systems cleared critical vibration tests for the DART AE, the world’s first entirely 3D-printed hypersonic airframe. This 3-meter platform, designed for Mach 7, proves that metal additive manufacturing can withstand the extreme mechanical resonance of scramjet flight. This milestone validates high-temperature alloy 3D printing for primary structures, slashing production cycles to just two months. It enables rapid iteration of complex aerodynamic shapes previously impossible to manufacture. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Hypersonics #Aerospace
