The simplification of fuel nozzles proposed by General Electric (GE) proves to be the centerpiece of aerospace forum.

The fourth Aerospace Technology Leadership Forum, held on February 15, saw more than 350 delegates from leading aerospace companies discuss the future of the aerospace industry.

The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) organised event saw GE bring up their plans to simplify the fuel nozzle, which currently constitutes 18 parts, into one single piece using additive manufacturing.

3D printing has been commonplace for many industrial bigwigs such as Rolls Royce, but airplanes have been riding the trend in marketing more 3D printed engines.
