Startup MicroTau's shark skin-inspired tech could save airlines $8 billion yearly by reducing plane drag.
Sydney-based MicroTau is developing shark skin-inspired "riblet" technology to reduce drag on planes, potentially saving $8 billion annually in fuel costs and reducing carbon emissions.
The company is partnering with Vueling to get the technology certified.
The riblets, which mimic the texture of shark skin, can be applied without altering the plane's structure, making it easily applicable to existing aircraft.
