Hey Aero, I’ve been experimenting with a new bio‑fabric that could cut drag on wing surfaces while also slashing the carbon footprint—thought you’d want to hear the numbers.

Great to hear you’re excited! The prototype cut the drag coefficient from 0.025 down to 0.018, a 28 % reduction. It’s 12 % lighter than the standard composite—about 1.4 kg less for a 12 ft span wing. For the carbon savings I ran a life‑cycle analysis on the raw materials, factoring in the bio‑fibers’ lower embodied energy; we’re looking at roughly 35 % less CO₂e per unit than the current laminate. I tested the finish from –20 °C to 70 °F. It stays slick and intact at 70 °F, and the peel test at –20 °C only showed a 5 % drop in adhesion, still within the tolerance we set for flight operations. I’m adding a nano‑capping layer next run to tighten that margin. Let me know if you want the full data sheet or a quick demo run. Thanks for the push—I’ll keep refining the texture to hit that sweet spot between performance and eco‑impact.
