A redesigned Air Force website will soon let users bring detailed models of A-10 "Warthogs," F-16 Fighting Falcons and other US military jets into their own homes in both virtual and physical forms.

A handful of computer-rendered military aircraft models will be available for viewing in augmented reality on smartphones or mobile devices. Users will also be able to download files from the site to use in 3D printing.
