Sep 03 2026

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM PDT

Room 409-412

Drone innovation depends not only on smarter design, but on manufacturing capabilities that can keep up with a fast-moving market. In this session, our panel will explore how advanced manufacturing is helping accelerate drone development through faster iteration, improved production agility, and the ability to produce increasingly complex parts. Drawing from both aerospace product development and manufacturing perspectives, the conversation will also address how AI-driven tools are contributing to the broader innovation process. Attendees will gain practical insight into how manufacturers are adapting to support the future of flight.
