> Chanda uses a Boeing 747 as an example in his team's study. To cover these planes, approximately 500 kilograms of paint is needed. Chanda estimates that using structural paint, manufacturers could cover the plane with only 1.7 kilograms.
Can someone explain how this will look like in real life? I have a hard time imagining painting something that big with such tiny supply of paint. Brushing can not possibly work, but even if its sprayed over, how can so little spread over such large area?
- goda90 4y agoI don't know, but maybe it has to do with the viscosity of the paint? If it sticks to the surface well, but not itself, then it could be easier to achieve a thinner layer.
