In the third phase of C-17 Drag Reduction testing, the Finlets will be removed and microvanes will be placed on each side of the aft fuselage. The fourth phase will see fairings attached to locations on the wings near the engines and winglets. Pictured above is a fairing (top) and a microvane. These are produced by Lockheed Martin with a 3-D printer. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kenji Thuloweit)
