Preventative Paint the way of the future?
|
Inflatable slides, oxygen masks and lifejackets have long been the weapon of choice for airlines in their quest to prevent tragedy in the sky. However, these emergency apparatus may soon become defunct with the invention of a new weapon designed to prevent tragedy before the plane even leaves the ground. Scientists have unveiled a paint designed to detect damage to planes and therefore help prevent air crashes. |

The paint is set to be developed for military vehicles first before being used on commercial and private planes. |
