(Divergent: Los Angeles; Saab: Linköping, Sweden) -- Divergent Technologies Inc. and Saab announced the initial delivery of fuselages for a Saab future product concept of an autonomous aircraft.

The fuselages, designed and manufactured by Saab and Divergent, were developed and built with no unique tooling or fixturing. Instead, Divergent’s fully digital, software-defined manufacturing assets were utilized. The Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) is an end-to-end structural engineering design and manufacturing system leveraging AI-driven design, industrial-rate additive manufacturing, and universal robotic assembly to deliver structures that are faster to develop, and feature higher performance and lower cost than their conventionally designed and manufactured alternatives.
