Lufthansa Tests AeroSHARK Shark-Skin Film on Airbus A330
Discover Airlines’ A330-300 becomes the first Airbus aircraft in Lufthansa Group’s AeroSHARK program, with shark-skin drag-reducing film installed at Elbe Flugzeugwerke in Dresden and tested via flights before and after installation. Lufthansa Technik estimates the current AeroSHARK-equipped fleet saves about 19 tonnes of kerosene and 60 tonnes of CO2 daily, and the company is working on a next generation for additional aircraft surfaces.
