Original abstract
The effectiveness of laminar flow technologies can be limited by insect contamination on aircraft leading edge surfaces. In order to effectively manufacture and evaluate anti-contamination coatings a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of an insect impact event – how the insect ruptures and adheres to the surface – is necessary. Two test facilities (developed independently) were used to study insect impact dynamics; both capable of producing single and multiple insect impacts at speeds of up to 100 m/s.
