What if inspecting an aircraft’s exterior coating could take about 30 minutes instead of several hours? That’s the kind of innovation our Aerospace Coatings team is helping bring to the industry.

AkzoNobel’s Aerofleet Coatings Management system combines drone-based inspection technology with data and predictive insights to help airlines better understand coating condition, identify potential issues earlier and make more informed maintenance and repainting decisions.

It’s an exciting example of how digital technology and coatings expertise are coming together to solve real-world challenges for our customers, and another area where our aerospace business is helping support the future of aviation.
