A160 Hummingbird UAV - Military Designation: YMQ-18A- The Boeing Company | Phantom Works
 

MILCO waterjet was asked by The Boeing Company to help manufacture an aluminum flat panel Sub frame for their Phantom Works division. The Hummingbird is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopter. These particular helicopters’ design and infrastructure incorporates new technologies that have pushed the boundaries never before used in helicopters. The hummingbird is used for greater endurance and operating flight altitude than any other helicopter currently in operation. This job was waterjet cut with a 24-hour turnaround time, out of 2 panels of 4’x 8’ 6061-T6 aluminum.
