The Front CoverThe research project Temporary Coating by Means of Drones – Icing Protection of Wind Turbines as a Case Study was carried out by Fraunhofer IFAM and IPA (page 6). The project involved 19 companies. The aim of the project was to provide the material technology basis for a temporary anti-ice coating and a drone-compatible application. The cover image shows a simulation of coating using a drone under the influence of wind.
