Nice splice! We just joined our first T-7A #RedHawk forward fuselage and aft sections on APT-6 – the first production-representative test vehicle advanced trainer for the U.S. Air Force. Following its digital thread, it was paired in minutes instead of days, like traditional aircraft.

Update from the SpaceShip Factory: The wing is assembled. Witness precision engineering in motion as the wing transitions from its massive vertical tooling into horizontal assembly, primed and ready for fuselage integration.

We showed you the lower. We showed you the upper. Now watch them become one. SpaceShip’s fuselage is mated. Crew station locked in. Cabin floor set. The aft fuselage is already building behind it. Next, this ship will meet its wings and feather. Momentum is everything.

With wings outstretched and talons at the ready, This eagle glides in with a swagger that exudes experience. In its sights,a fish that is trapped in the rapid currents of an incoming tidal flood. Success is often earned through hard work and failure.

The only Makhonine Mak-10 prototype, a French experimental aircraft with telescopic wings that extended its span by eight meters, was captured by German forces after the fall of France and transferred to Germany for evaluation. Designed by Russian émigré Ivan Makhonine, it first flew on 11 August 1931. The aircraft was later re-engined with a Gnome-Rhône 14K radial, redesignated the Mak-101, and reached a top speed of approximately 205 knots. Its final fate remains unknown. 👀

While Malzeno sneaks up on prey and fights using underhanded tactics, Primordial Malzeno fights head-on with the valor of a knight. It uses its wings like a Sword & Shield to stab and bash enemies. It'll also use its heavy tail to finish off foes.
