Historic Aerospace Restoration with RhinoCAM

AirMotive Specialties, Inc. (Salinas, CA) is well known in aviation circles worldwide for its quality restorations of vintage WWII-era aircraft such as the P51 Mustang Fighter aircraft shown here. This effort in many cases requires reverse engineering the original aircraft components.

AirMotive relies on RhinoCAM and their ShopSabre CNC router to manufacture many of these components including the form-press dies they use to manufacture the aerodynamic skin panels of the aircraft. An example of one of these dies in shown below.
