Sharks and planes have more in common than you might think. That's because, at BASF, we developed the sharkskin technology, a film added to the aircraft's exterior that contains millions of microscopic "riblets" (little ribs), like sharks. By implementing sharkskin technology, planes can save fuel and emit less CO2. On a large long-haul aircraft, for example, it cuts more than 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year! Celebrate #SharkAwarenessDay with us by appreciating the amazing natural inspiration that led to a more sustainable future. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dnkkbK9k

Have had managers in the past ask me to help make the workplace safe from crazy or fired employees. People not use to rejection in life sometimes have difficulty accepting it.

This is fascinating! Sharkskin technology is an incredible example of how nature can inspire sustainable innovations. Kudos to BASF for leading the way in reducing CO2 emissions and making aviation more eco-friendly. Happy #SharkAwarenessDay! 🌊✈️ #Innovation #Sustainability #NatureInspired
