Aurora Flight Sciences, an aerospace company, teamed up with 3D printing company Stratasys to create the first 3D-printed, jet-powered aircraft for the Dubai Airshow.

The drone is believed to be the fastest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ever assembled, reaching a top speed of 150 miles per hour.

Dan Campbell, an aerospace research engineer at Aurora Flight Sciences, said in a video that the goal of the project was to show aerospace companies how 3D printing can speed up the process of building a UAV.

The team's feat shows the immense potential for drone production in the future. 3D printing the drone sped up production, lowered costs associated with production, and allowed the team to experiment with complex designs that could allow drones to accomplish more than they can currently.

Here's how 3D printing aided in the drone's creation:
