- jacquesm 5y agoYes, especially the leading edges undergo a lot of protection because otherwise the structure underneath would suffer from the continuous impact of airborne particles, insects, precipitation and so on. Detachment of airflow across the whole wing would require a lot of damage, normal inspection would result in such a plane to be grounded well ahead of that happening.
