The Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC) has 3D printed what it calls a micro turbojet engine. This isn't a model or replica print—this is the real deal. This 3D printed micro turbojet engine actually works and successfully flew when recently tested. This information comes to us from Global Times, which shared details from the official AECC WeChat page.
The announcement came on Wednesday when AECC confirmed the test flight took place in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. According to Global Times, the engine was developed independently, but details are sparse. We know that some of the unit is 3D printed, but we aren't sure how much of it is and which components.
