Mad Props: This Digital Tech Makes Flying A Turboprop As Simple As Riding A Scooter

July 22, 2019
When Audrey Hepburn went careening with Gregory Peck on a scooter through the cobbled streets of Rome in “Roman Holiday,” the Vespa she drove was simple enough that she could just jump on, twist the throttle and get to her destination — even if her execution was slightly inelegant for a princess.

First impressions can be misleading. In 1895, when Wilhelm Roentgen trained his cathode ray at his wife’s hand and took what may have been the world’s first human X-ray, she cried out, “I have seen my death!” — or so the story goes.

Few places illustrate the rapid evolution of 3D printing better than Avio Aero’s gleaming box of a factory in Cameri, a small town near Milan in northern Italy. The plant is filled with 20 sleek, black 3D printers, each the size of an armoire.

The Northern Italian town of Cameri could be easily mistaken for a quiet farming commune. But take a short ride through the rolling fields of the fertile Po Valley that surround it and you’ll discover a startling contrast.

On Jan. 18, a series of earthquakes sent 120 tons of snow careening into the Hotel Rigopiano at the foot of Gran Sasso mountain in central Italy and spurred Giuseppe Briganti into action. Briganti and his crew from the Italy State Police’s 11th Flight Department in Pescara spent hours airlifting victims to hospitals and bringing back supplies in a rescue helicopter. For the pilots the emergency was large-scale but not  unanticipated.

You won’t find the Italian commune of Cameri in many tourist guides. Located on the flat and fertile plains that stretch seemingly forever between Italy’s industrial dynamos of Milan and Turin, tiny Cameri seems a little lost. Like in most Italian towns, a splendid church and bell tower stand in the center, but during a recent visit in early February, its narrow streets were quiet and its stores either empty or closed. The busiest place in town was a pizzeria filled with a dozen locals finishing their lunch.
