Future Vertical Lift (FVL) represents a revolutionary approach to rotorcraft design and technology which aims to develop aircraft that can provide improvements in speed, range, maneuverability, and payload capacity over incumbent helicopters. Each of these advancements will undoubtedly benefit from the maturity of additive manufacturing (AM) as it can help enable complex geometries to facilitate weight reduction, encourages material innovation, enables rapid iterative design with customization, and promises to provide a solution for on-demand manufacturing. However, a variety of challenge areas still exist in using AM to produce critical parts for FVL platforms, which include: 1) Quality assurance and certification, 2) Production time and scale, 3) Cost considerations, 4) Material limitations, and 5) Design complexity and digitization. Despite these challenges, AM is being used to manufacture critical parts today, and although these drawbacks should not presently prevent the use of AM to advance FVL applications, there needs to be a parallel push to solve such challenges and achieve sustainable use of AM, remove hype, and bring truth to where AM fits in the supply chain ecosystem, which must also encompass other manufacturing methods. This project aims to make considerable strides of added knowledge in each of these areas toward the advancement of rotorcraft technology on a national scale.
