The CHOPIN project focuses on developing durable hydrophobic coatings to reduce insect adhesion on aircraft wings, which can increase drag and fuel consumption. The project aims to optimize these coatings for micro-perforated surfaces and validate their effectiveness through various testing methods.
The aircraft industry has long been concerned with the increase of drag impacting directly the fuel consumption of airplanes.
Different researches have shown that the insect sticking causes a surface roughness disrupting the laminar flow.
Several methods have been used to solve the problem and the most important parameter playing a role in the reduction of insect adhesion on aircraft wings is the surface energy.
Indeed, during the last 60 years different modifications of the wing leading edges s…
