Aerocoat Case Study: Sept 2018

Cavendish Aviation were asked to restore the exterior of a 1972 Cherokee Arrow.

When it arrived at our Earls Colne base the aircraft’s exterior surface measured 29 GU on the GU scale – The Gloss Units scale was developed and used extensively throughout the car and aircraft industry where a perfect mirror finish
is measured at 100 GU.
 

UV and rain had eroded both the PU paint finish and perspex so, together with normal wear and tear of a near 50 year old aircraft, the Cherokee Arrow
was ready for some TLC.
 

Following the Aerocoat process, the aircraft emerged with a 89 GU finish and a newly restored look to give greater ramp appeal as well as lifting the
potential resale value.

The process means less cleaning, better scratch resistance and weather proofing.

The owner has reported back to Cavendish with an increase in airspeed from 130 kts to 146kts at normal power setting, confirmed by radar.

This could be taken as a fuel saving by reducing power back to the previous cruise speed, returning the investment in 150 hours.
