This clip demonstrates how Airbus is using new techniques to boost the eco-efficiency of its aircraft painting procedures. Laurent Casset, Research & Development Manager - Manufacturing, explains the “base coat, clear coat” livery painting method, which requires only one layer of paint and a layer of varnish for protection. This new process results in a dramatic reduction in paint volume, among other environmentally friendly benefits.
