Title:
MONOMOLECULAR CARBON-BASED FILM FOR FORMING LUBRICIOUS SURFACE ON AIRCRAFT PARTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/080536
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A monomolecular carbon-based film can be placed on an aircraft part, such as the leading edge designed to directly impinge against air during flight, ascent or descent, in order to form a smooth surface having increased lubricity and reduced air friction. The aircraft part may be in the form of a helicopter rotor, wing, propeller, fin, aileron, nose cone, and the like. The monomolecular carbon-based film can be deposited on the aircraft part, for example, using a reactor that includes a bed of silica and through which emissions from a diesel engine are passed. The monomolecular carbon-based film decreases air friction and increased lift of a modified aircraft that includes an aircraft part treated with the film. It also provides a structured shock absorber.
