  • Abstract
    Futuristic concept technologies for future aircraft have been unveiled by scientists and engineers at BAE Systems. The `drawing board?? technologies include on-board 3D printers so advanced they could print smaller unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during a mission; self-healing aircraft parts; long-range aircraft that divide into smaller aircraft when they reach their destination, and an anti-missile directed energy weapon.
