ReSiSTant

  This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 760941.  

Title

Large Riblet Surface with Super Hardnesss, Mechanical and Temperature Resistance by Nano Functionalization

Concept

“ReSiSTant” targets the optimization of two industrial pilot lines by using micro- and nanostructured surfaces for drag reduction. The objectives are to implement new developed surfaces into 1) Aircraft Turbofan Engines and 2) Industrial Compressors. Positive effects by usage of such surface could give benefits in terms of efficiency, CO2 reduction and noise emission and further on a positive economic and ecological impact.
