U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 31st Maintenance Squadron fabrication flight aircraft structural maintenance section demonstrate the capabilities of the new E-drill tool at Aviano Air Base, Italy, April 28, 2026. The E-drill uses water and plasma to core out fasteners on aircraft to replace the process of wasting drill bits, dropping technician time from nine minutes per fastener to 45 seconds.
