Embodiment Construction
[0030]The embodiments disclosed herein provide riblets constructed with high elongation elastomeric materials that may be impacted by ground support equipment, ground support personnel or environmental hazards such as hail without permanent deformation / damage. These embodiments also allow an optimized structural design of riblets providing the capability for them to be thinner, lower weight, and more aerodynamically efficient. An exemplary embodiment of elastomeric riblets having a structure as will be described in greater detail subsequently is shown as a portion of an aerodynamic surface for an aircraft as shown in FIG. 1. The aircraft 110 employs a structure with a surface 111, shown enlarged, having multiple substantially parallel riblets 112 arranged parallel to the flow direction as represented by arrow 114. For the exemplary embodiment shown, the height dimension 116 perpendicular to the surface 111 is approximately 0.002 inch while the spacing 118 between the riblets is appr...
