From 3D scan to fuel savings: Bringing #AeroSHARK to the Airbus #A330ceo! 🦈✈️ We are deep into the certification process for the first Airbus model to benefit from our drag-reducing riblet film, developed with BASF Coatings. And we are already looking ahead: We are collaborating with Airbus to extend AeroSHARK riblet technology to the wings and stabilizers of the A330ceo, working towards a first-ever EASA certification for these surfaces. This builds on our ongoing STC certification for the fuselage and engine nacelles. This video walks through 5 out of many highly important engineering steps to achieve commercial certification: ➡️ 3D Laser Scan – Capturing the exact aircraft geometry on the ground. ➡️ CAD Model – Transforming scan data into a streamlined digital model. ➡️ Computational Mesh – Creating a calculation grid with millions of elements. ➡️ CFD Simulation – Visualizing airflow streamlines and local velocities. ➡️ Application Area – Defining the precise surfaces for maximum efficiency. #LufthansaTechnik #MROexperts #keepyouflying
