Abstract:

This technical series will cover the introduction to manufacturing of air vehicles of interest to the UCAH audience.  Manufacturing techniques can be very similar to commercial airplanes, however distinct elements can be contrasted.  These contrasting elements will be discus.  Specific manufacturing practices will be introduced related to additive and subtractive manufacturing, joining, forming, assembly, and post processing.  AI in manufacturing is gaining interest, so brief conceptual deep learning discussion utilizing manufacturing practices will be taught.   In completion of the talk, air vehicle configurations at an introductory level will be discussed, manufacturing practice contrasting notable elements, and perform a conceptional manufacturing deep learning exercise.
