据新加坡《联合早报》2013年2月18日报道,国际民航业者向鲨鱼学习,在飞机表面漆上含有鲨鱼皮结构的涂料,以降低空气对飞机的阻力。德国最大航空公司汉莎航空(Lufthansa)2月初宣布,旗下两架空中客车A340-300型客机将从2013年夏季起进行为期两年的“鲨鱼皮涂料”测试。科学家将在客机机身和机翼边缘的8个地方漆上10公分见方的涂料,以测试这种尖端涂料对降低空气阻力的效果。这种涂料是德国弗劳恩霍夫制造技术和应用材料研究院的研究成果。鲨鱼外皮能够减少水和身体摩擦产生的微漩涡及阻力,所以鲨鱼能够游得很快。科学家认识到鲨鱼皮的妙用已有30年之久。如今,模仿鲨鱼皮结构的技术应用于许多领域,包括军事、航 According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore on February 18, 2013, the international civil aviation industry learned from sharks that paint on the surface of aircraft was coated with a coating of shark skin to reduce the air resistance to the aircraft. Lufthansa, Germany’s largest airline, announced in early February that its two Airbus A340-300 passenger aircraft will undergo a two-year “shark skin coating” test from the summer of 2013. Scientists will paint 10 centimeters of paint on eight locations on the fuselage and wing edges of the passenger aircraft to test the effectiveness of the cutting-edge coating to reduce air drag. This coating is the result of a study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials. Shark skin can reduce the micro vortex and resistance caused by water and body friction, so the shark can swim very fast. Scientists have realized that the shark skin magical effect has been 30 years. Today, techniques that mimic the structure of shark skin are used in many areas, including military and aerospace
