Saab is rewriting the playbook for autonomous aircraft design with Divergent Technologies, unveiling a fuselage built without traditional assembly rigs.

The fuselage stretches 15 feet (4.6 meters) and is made from 26 3D-printed parts, all pieced together by robots.

This reportedly makes it the first aircraft body built using such a method, and it also ranks among the largest 3D-printed aerostructures ever attempted.
