3D printed parts for the C-5M deliver new capabilities

Solid fastener straps fitted with 3D printed blocks lay on a table prior to maintenance on a C-5M Super Galaxy at Travis Air Force Base, California, Jan. 31, 2023. The blocks are internal support structures that provide the underlying shape of the C-5 aerodynamic fairing over the wing splice, the joint where the main wing connects to the middle wing.
