Lufthansa replicates sharkskin to boost fuel efficiency of cargo jets
Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Technik and BASF have partnered to develop a new coating for aircraft to make them slip through the air with less friction. (www.freightwaves.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
My airline won’t even wash its airplanes. One of the largest cargo airline in business. That’d be a good start.
Very cool to see this. I never understood why things that travel through air, where drag becomes the dominant force to push against, didn't adopt the aerodynamic trick of the dimples on the golf-ball disturbing the boundary layer!
...'cuz the club to launch them would be HUGE...
Harry and Roy - you are both dead right. I have a pic which I took a couple of years ago in The Museum of London, who over many years took thousands of core samples in London right back to the first footprint. The UK was then part of Europe, and a later ice age resulted in a glacier from the north cutting out the now English Channel. The pic is a bar chart of the differing temperature levels with the peaks and troughs 50,000 years apart. From the very beginning the levels of high and low temperatures have been almost equal since time immemorial, and we are currently at the peak of the latest warm period, so a cold period is due in about 50,000 years. Keep up the good work.
"We are in the current peak." It isn't a peak until it starts to drop.
You are confusing local weather with global climate. I take it you have no grandchildren?
Thought this was a airplane forum, guess not.
No worries for I'm sure Biden and the Democrats will pay somebody to fix it. Whatever it is?
If they can find anybody that will go to work!
