Artisans at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest in San Diego work on the wing slat of an F/A-18 Super Hornet. The facility is partnered with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division to pioneer a new repair process using 3D-printed composite patches, a technology intended to cut maintenance times in half and get aircraft back to the fleet faster.
