The blocks, which normally provide internal support to the hump panel, were splitting apart, making the aircraft non-mission capable. “The technicians went up on the wing, and that's when they discovered that there was a massive delamination of the phenolic ,” Elliott said. When a Travis C-5M landed in Charleston AFB, South Carolina, during a mission in December, the crew discovered during a post-flight inspection that a section of the hump-shaped aerodynamic fairing panel was missing. Fairings are structural elements that help reduce drag on an aircraft.

Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office, provide support to an aerodynamic fairing covering a wing splice on the C-5, said Clay Elliott, a C-5 structural engineering subject matter expert with the C-5 SPO. The printed blocks and wedges, supplied by the U.S. Maintainers from the 60th Maintenance Squadron and 349th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, along with engineering and engineering support contractors from the C-5 System Program Office out of Robins AFB, Georgia, recently finished work to modify an internal part for a C-5M Super Galaxy by incorporating 3D-printed materials.
