Republic Aviation Corp. had a manufacturing problem with drilling the speed brake door of the F-105 airplane. The door is composed of annealed and heat treated Rene 41, Inconel X and titanium. To overcome this problem, electrical discharge machining was utilized to produce required holes, resulting in significant cost savings over traditional methods.
