“Ansys is not just a software company; it’s our partner, helping us explore the potential of simulation. Ansys was our first choice to reverse engineer the aerodynamic characteristics of the entire aircraft – if you try to do the same with flight testing, a project like AeroSHARK would never happen. We really appreciate not only the Ansys software, but especially the Ansys expertise.”

Shark Skin Inspires Fuel and Weight Reduction Technology
Studies dating back decades have shown that shark skin has a drag reduction effect in turbulent airflow, but there has been no material durable enough to withstand the loads experienced by aircraft in flight. In addition to radiation, temperature differences from 50 to -50 oC need to be addressed, and with the help of Ansys, Lufthansa Technik was able to modify the turbulence model to take the riblet effect – the shark skin texture – into account.
