With its micrometre-deep \u2018riblets\u2019 aligned to the airflow direction, the film replicates the hydrodynamic skin of a shark, reducing air resistance in flight by around 1%. As a result, even with only part of its Boeing 777 fleet equipped with the new technology, AeroSHARK lowered SWISS\u2019s kerosene consumption last year by over 2,200 tonnes, with concomitant reductions of some 7,100 tonnes in the airline\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are very pleased with the results that we have achieved with AeroSHARK to date,&#8221; said SWISS&#8217;s Head of Technical Fleet Management Claus Bauer. &#8220;We&#8217;re proud, too, to be the first airline in the world to have equipped an entire aircraft fleet with this innovative technology. It takes about a week for each aircraft to have the AeroSHARK film applied, which requires high-precision workmanship. I am delighted that our commitment to this technology is delivering such positive results, enabling SWISS to take a further substantial step in making flight operations more sustainable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lufthansa Technik and BASF jointly developed the AeroSHARK aircraft skin technology.
