About this technology
Overview
NASA's Langley Research Center has developed a coating material made of a novel copolyimide containing surface modifying agents that is designed to prevent the accumulation of insect residue on aircraft wings. These residues have the potential to significantly disrupt laminar air flow over the wings and eliminating them can reduce air resistance and improve fuel economy.
