“…Physical and chemical modifications to the wing leading edge surface are passive methods that have been investigated and include elastic surfaces [75,84,85,135,136], coatings [49][50][51][52][53]57,104,[125][126][127]142], soluble films [15,145] and fluid covers [15,86,87,137]. Elastic surfaces discussed in Section 7.3 were found to work well with minimal traces of insect residue, but had durability concerns.…”
