Robotics Specialist Aims To Improve Drag-reducing Sharkskin Technology

A growing number of airlines have recently adopted sharkskin-inspired aircraft surface film to reduce drag, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Dutch robotics specialist Xyrec is now developing an automated way in which this type of technology could be directly incorporated into aircraft paint to simplify and speed up application while creating no additional weight.
