We use these in military aviation across the world. Stupidly useful when you’ve got 100+ lbs of tools to run out to a down aircraft that needs fixed to make a mission.
Also in shipyards, for similar reasons.
- MPSimmons 4y agoI can't talk about details but I know of large industry-leading aerospace manufacturers who don't use MMC for flight parts because they need batch-level part tracking for failure investigations, and MMC doesn't offer that.

- CobaltFire 4y agoI wasn't talking about using MMC for aviation parts; I was referring to the industrial tricycles.
