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.

Czech abstract

Účinnost technologií laminárního proudění může být omezena kontaminací hmyzem na náběžných hranách letadlel. Aby bylo možné efektivně vyrábět a vyhodnotit anti-kontaminační povrchové vrstvy je třeba pochopit dynamiku dopadu hmyzu na povrch letounu. Dvě zkušební zařízení (nezávisle vyvinuté) byly použity ke studiu dynamiky dopadu hmyzu; obě schopné produkovat dopady hmyzu rychlostí až 100 m/s.
