F35A BAE Systems facility in Adelaide, Australia has started operating new machining equipment to produce titanium components for the F-35 fighter aircraft.

BAE makes the metallic parts of F-35 vertical tails by using twin-spindle long spars and longeron machinery, the company said Tuesday.

The company also uses the technology at its F-35 components machining plant in Samlesbury, England.

BAE and machine tools manufacturer Starrag jointly designed the equipment.
