Figure 14
Insect residue heights as a function of Φ arc angle from stagnation line on leading edge radius.
Red/blue circles represent residue accumulated on bare aluminum surface and orange/red diamonds represent residue on the TAPNC coating. The results indicate strong reduction in residue height and residue concentration (each symbol represent a single exoskeleton residue) for the TAPNC surface. The reductions are especially profound near the leading edge, where exoskeletons are most likely to occur in typical flight conditions.
