It may not be every day that you hear, aircraft fuselages are inspired by sharks, but the reality is that it is one of the most unorthodox innovations regarding commercial aircraft. Although these well-known sea creatures and rulers reside deep beneath the ocean’s surface, they have somehow influenced new ways to improve the performance of aircraft transporting people around the globe high into the atmosphere. Sharkskin technology not only reduces fuel consumption on newly manufactured aircraft, but also enhances fuel efficiency of legacy planes, which perhaps is one of its most notable benefits. Since its introduction in 2019, the technology has been implemented on over 15 aircraft.
