Abstract:
A riblet film for reducing the air resistance of aircraft, comprising a suspension with magnetic particles enclosed therein. Depending on the pattern of a magnetic field acting on the riblet film, the magnetic field that is acting can be made visible, at least in certain regions, by changing the orientation of the magnetic particles. The riblet film allows an inspection of the aircraft structure located under the riblet film through the riblet film.
