Structural maintainers provide backbone of RPAs

Senior Airman Joshua, 432nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman sands down a wing panel for the MQ-1 Predator Feb. 18, 2016, at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. The MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper are made completely of composite materials such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, and specialized variations of fiberglass. Because of this, the structural maintenance Airmen must wear proper protective equipment to keep the hazardous carbon shavings and paint from being inhaled.
