More final components delivered

Following the end of the spring exams, all teams resumed work on the project. At a team leaders' meeting that took place last week, we checked progress across all teams and the heads highlighted the pending tasks.

The findings from printing trials that took place in the last couple of weeks were discussed to make sure a common strategy is followed for subsequent design changes. This week also marks the crossing of the 200-hour mark for 3D prints. Having already prototyped 94 parts, the trials continue and it's not too long until the final parts enter the printing queue.

The compressor team became the first of the design teams to deliver the final compressor assembly consisting of 135 components and 9 subassemblies. Work continues to ensure seamless integration with all other engine parts and electronic systems.
