![]() ![]() The potential for fuel and CO 2 savings on this scale is around 1.1 %. With approximately 950 m² of riblet film, the modification of the Boeing 777-300ER will be even larger than the 800 m² on the Boeing 777F of AeroSHARK’s launch customer Lufthansa Cargo. SWISS is the first passenger airline worldwide to use the innovative surface technology to significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions of one of its existing fleets, thereby improving both economy and ecology. The significantly reduced frictional resistance resulting from this modification will make the sub-fleet more than one percent more fuel-efficient and lower in emissions. Starting in the middle of the year, a total of twelve Boeing 777-300ERs will gradually be fitted with the riblet films developed jointly by Lufthansa Technik and BASF. Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has decided to equip its entire Boeing long-haul fleet with the fuel-saving AeroSHARK surface technology.
