Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and Divergent Technologies unveiled the Project Dragonfly drone. This jet-powered, one-way attack vehicle is entirely 3D-printed and robotically assembled.

The drone features a 9-foot wingspan. It has a gross weight of 400 pounds.

This manufacturing shift aims to significantly reduce production times and costs for complex aerospace systems. The technology enables rapid iteration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This development impacts defense sector investors in ETFs including XAR, PPA, and ROKT.
