1. A thrust disc for an aircraft, the thrust disc comprising: a planar body; anda region unitarily formed from a portion of the body,wherein the region has a plurality of sides defining the region on the planar body,wherein the region has a textured feature, andwherein a subset of the plurality of sides are cut and at least one of the plurality of sides is integrally connected to the body;wherein the thrust disc further comprises:a plurality of regions formed from a plurality of different portions of the body, wherein the plurality of regions each have a textured feature and wherein the each of the plurality of regions has a different shape. 2. The thrust disc of claim 1, wherein the textured feature is corrugated. 3. The thrust disc of claim 1, wherein the textured feature is one selected from a group consisting of a symmetrical bump pattern, an asymmetric bump pattern, and a wrinkled pattern. 4. The thrust disc of claim 1, wherein the region is a trapezoid, wherein the parallel sides of the trapezoid are curved, and wherein at least one of the non-parallel sides is integrally connected to the body. 5. The thrust disc of claim 1, wherein the region is one selected from a group consisting of a triangular shape, a crescent shape, a rectangular shape, a kite shape, a regular polygon shape, and an irregular polygon shape. 6. A thrust disc for an aircraft, the thrust disc comprising: a planar body; anda region unitarily formed from a portion of the body,wherein the region has a plurality of sides defining the region on the planar body,wherein the region has a textured feature, andwherein a subset of the plurality of sides are cut and at least one of the plurality of sides is integrally connected to the body;wherein the thrust disc further comprises:a plurality of regions formed from a plurality of different portions of the body, wherein the plurality of regions each have a textured feature and wherein each of the plurality of regions has a different textured feature. 7. The thrust disc of claim 6, wherein the textured feature is corrugated. 8. The thrust disc of claim 6, wherein the textured feature is one selected from a group consisting of a symmetrical bump pattern, an asymmetric bump pattern, and a wrinkled pattern. 9. The thrust disc of claim 6, wherein the region is a trapezoid, wherein the parallel sides of the trapezoid are curved, and wherein at least one of the non-parallel sides is integrally connected to the body. 10. The thrust disc of claim 6, wherein the region is one selected from a group consisting of a triangular shape, a crescent shape, a rectangular shape, a kite shape, a regular polygon shape, and an irregular polygon shape. 11. A method of manufacturing a thrust disc, the method comprising: providing a planar disc;cutting along a subset of sides of a region on the planar disc, wherein at least one of the plurality of sides of the region is uncut and integrally connected to the planar disc;pressing a textured feature into the region;cutting along a second subset of sides of a second region on the planar disc, wherein at least one of the plurality of second sides of the second region is uncut and integrally connected to the planar disc; andpressing a second textured feature into the second region;wherein the first region and the second region have a same shape. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein pressing the textured feature into the region further comprising: pressing a corrugated pattern into the region using a hydraulic press. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein pressing the textured feature into the region further comprising: selecting the textured feature from a group consisting of a symmetrical bump pattern, an asymmetric bump pattern, and a wrinkled pattern; andpressing the selected textured feature into the region using a hydraulic press. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein cutting further comprises: cutting to form a trapezoid by cutting the curved parallel sides and at least one of the non-parallel sides. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein cutting further comprises: cutting to form one selected from a group consisting of a triangular shape, a crescent shape, a rectangular shape, a kite shape, a regular polygon shape, and an irregular polygon shape.
