AGlaze has succeeded in proving that applying the new 5.6 Aviation Sealant to Commercial and non commercial aircraft produces a significant reduction in drag on performance. Testing took place at the Aircraft Research Association centre in Bedford at the end of May. Results which were confirmed on the day were welcomed by the Directors of AGlaze as well as Airboune Colours Directors who have a worldwide agreement to apply AGlaze commercially. This will take the process to a new dimension and will see the official launch at next months Farnborough Air Show where the product will be shown to all the commercial airlines. Already approved and used on Boeing and Airbus the new version will undoubtably be reviewed as well as update testing records logged which were due. BMI have already been testing the product showing similar results as proved in the wind tunnel testing and shown a calclated fuel saving over a period of 12 months was 161 tonnes. Whilst fuel costs are rising it is apparent that this will be looked at closely by many of the airlines. A contract has also recently been signed covering China for its commercial airlines and private corporate jets. Photos show the testing taking place, application on the model which was painted by Airbourne Colours to give the true finish before application as well as the Directors of AGlaze and Airbourne Colours.
