According to Chinese claims, this development promises to significantly reduce drag and enhance engine efficiency, potentially propelling China to the forefront of next-generation engine development.
The newly-introduced “shark skin” structure, meticulously crafted from a high-strength, large titanium alloy through precision 3D printing, has been hailed by Chinese researchers as a game-changer in aerodynamics.
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), this cutting-edge technology has the potential to slash drag by up to 10%, marking a substantial leap forward in engine performance.
The focal point of this groundbreaking endeavor lies in an engine component known as the intermediate casing. This crucial element, exceeding a meter in diameter, features meticulously designed bionic grooves, each measuring a mere 15 to 35 micrometers in depth — finer than a human hair.
