This project explores the application of a riblet coating on aircraft surfaces to reduce air drag and improve fuel efficiency. It involves developing a flexible application system that can accommodate various aircraft sizes and ensure precise coating application.
By using a Riblet-coating on the airplane surface the air drag can be reduced.
Through this, a fuel saving of 2% - 5% is possibly.
Particularly, with middle- and long-haul aircrafts, a big saving potential exists.
This had been demonstrated by tests with the A320 and the Beluga.The project encloses the conception of an application station to apply a special coating on completely mounted airplanes with variable dimensions.
Therefore, the application unit must have the suitable degrees of freedom…
