Factors affecting the sticking of insects on modified aircraft wings [PDF]

open access: yes
Previous work showed that the total number of insects sticking to an aluminum surface was reduced by coating the aluminum surface with elastomers. Due to a large number of possible experimental errors, no correlation between the modulus of elasticity ...
