A Lockheed Martin partner has been applying robotics in manufacturing work on components for the F-35 fighter jet, Popular Science reported Thursday.
Kelsey Atherton writes Magellan Aerospace, a Toronto-based supplier for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, uses a robotic arm to build tails for the aircraft.
The mechanical arm features a milling tool that works to remove excess materials from F-35 parts, according to the report.
