- Take a look under the hood of one of the world's fastest ultralights production!
Shark pays attention to every little detail and 3D printing is a very important part of its manufacture process. Did you know that there are about 100 parts in the Shark that are 3D printed using Prusa 3D printers ?
Join Petr Hýl and Vladimír Pekár and find out how many hours of work can be saved with 3D printing technology or how long it took to fine-tune the production of the landing gear closing doors.
Many thanks to @Prusa3D team for creating and sharing this video.

as a pilot myself and 3d printing hobbyst, I find this really impressive. And of course it could only be prusa.
The best light aircraft in the world!
Woah!
3D printed parts are a huge safety compromise... Components built with filaments can't have the same tensile strength of solid materials due to their inherent layer by layer construction.
Yes. Therefore we use it only as non critical parts. Such as headset holders, locks, covers, etc. And for prototyping of course. Everything is tested according to the certification basis’ requirements with safety factor 2.
Is there a program of the Shark for flight simulators yet? This would be an excellent way to promote the Shark.
On its way, no fixed date yet
@@sharkairplane I have a flight simulator (X-plane 11) with full controls. A friend of mine is in the process of buying a Shark and having a Shark flight sim program would be beneficial .
