This agreement is based on Innovasonic’s PiezoWipe technology, which features an ultrasonic cleaning process, in addition to the company’s transparent piezoelectric transducers array design and fabrication technology.
According to Innovasonic, PiezoWipe could offer a full self-cleaning solution to remove dirt and deposits, as well as fog and ice on glass components, sensors and displays.
Compared to existing solutions such as wipers, robots and other self-cleaning coatings, PiezoWipe is anticipated to have enhanced reliability, efficiency and durability.
Innovasonic founder and CEO Dr Boris Kobrin said: “Working with Spike Aerospace gives us an opportunity to develop and deploy our technology in one of the most innovative products on the aerospace market – supersonic jet, which could fly at the speeds twice of other jets.
