Iran-Made Nanocoatings Capable of Improving Pilots’ Vision Range

They enhanced the performance of airplane windshields by using nanotechnology that is able to reduce the amount of light passing or scattering.

To reduce the light scattering in the airplane windshield, nanolayers were used so that the lights do not disturb the vision of the pilots.

The product was supplied to the market with the support of the Nanotechnology Development Headquarters.

The light scattered from surface irregularities weakens the optical performance of various parts. This includes a decrease in optical efficiency, and a decrease in contrast and clarity of the image, creating a blurred image.

BK7 is a high-quality optical glass that has a variety of applications in optical instruments.

The product has performed well in chemical tests, has had an easy production process and its final price is remarkably competitive.

According the vice presidency for science, this glass can be used in the aviation industry and the equipment used in aviation industry, as a reticle in the eye lenses of observation devices such as telescopes, telescopic sights, oscilloscope screens, or aircraft glass.

Reticles are parts used in optical industries such as range finders, binoculars, and optical equipment for graduated telescopes and microscopes.

Reticles are produced and designed in a special way according to the needs of each industry.

Nanocoatings are ultra-thin layers or chemical structures that are built upon surfaces by a variety of methods. Typically, nanocoatings are used to impart a particular chemical or physical function to a surface.

The nanocoating technology has improved the performance of such glasses so that covering the mirror surface with nanolayers can end in reduction of light scattering.
