Penguins survive in a cold place like Antarctica, where the air temperature can go down to -40 degrees Celsius. The winds here flow at speeds of 40 meters per second.
Penguins regularly move in search of of the water in freezing temperatures, they manage to keep ice away from them by covering themselves from their feathers.
Penguin is a bird which cannot fly. According to a new study, penguins’ anti-icing behavior can hold a sign that prevents Airplanes from crashing.
Airlines spend lot of time and money applying chemical de-icers to planes that can fly in winter weather also. Super hydrophobic surfaces inspired by penguins might be cheaper, long lasting and environmental friendly.
