AeroSHARK - Cutting emissions with sharkskin technology

AeroSHARK is a durable bionic film that successfully mimics the skin of sharks and optimizes the airflow thus enabling significant fuel savings. The functional film imitates the special characteristics of sharkskin, significantly reducing aerodynamic drag through its riblet structure. The principle of drag reduction through riblets has been scientifically recognized for decades. Lufthansa Technik and BASF Coatings have successfully applied this principle for the harsh conditions of daily airline operations, making AeroSHARK the only certified solution for commercial aviation by now. Currently installed on the aircraft fuselage and engine nacelles, AeroSHARK achieves a reduction of about one percent in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, which could further increase with the certification of additional surface areas.
