To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the conclusion of WW2 in 2015, I have released a free sample of project ME 123. A 3D printed model is available & ready for demonstration at your request. ME 123 is a specially designed battle carrier used in a hypothetical cold war scenario. To reduce attrition rates, jets and drones can be manufactured using 3D printing battle factories. Using VTOL aircraft permits a smaller flight deck area, allowing the presence of naval artillery for shore bombardment while aircraft is used to outflank the enemy. This is in response to the controversial F35 & LCS program which has a mediocre reputation for its various inefficiencies. The design & rapid prototyping process took 3-5 weeks.
