🏆 ✨ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 ... ✈️🦈 We are deeply honored to be among the distinguished recipients of the 67th Annual Laureate Awards by Aviation Week Network! Being recognized for AeroSHARK is a proud moment for us! AeroSHARK, co-developed by Lufthansa Technik and BASF Coatings, is an adhesive riblet film inspired by sharkskin. By reducing drag, it significantly cuts fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions ‒ by up to 1% per aircraft. This proven “quick win” solution allows airlines to immediately cut fuel burn and emissions with a single, relatively simple modification to their aircraft. We are happy to see more and more airlines around the world embracing our innovative sharkskin technology. As we eagerly await the Grand Laureates announcement in March, we’re keeping our fins crossed. The competition is fierce ‒ truly a “shark tank”, with so many extraordinary candidates in the running. But hey, isn’t a shark tank the perfect place for AeroSHARK to shine? 😉 Congratulations to all the honorees who are shaping our industry! #FirstMoverInAviation #MakeChangeFly Image Copyright: BASF
