TU Graz provides know-how for efficient aircraft engine from General ElectricBy Christoph Pelzl In the EU project TURANDOT, researchers from TU Graz investigated a sharkskin-like coating for engine blades and tracked the flow of cooling air in the engine. In this way, they make aircraft more fuel-efficient, less expensive and quieter.
