Nippon cargo Airlines is the first Japanese carrier to adopt an innovative new paint system, developed by the German company, MankiewiczrnGebr & Co and is now operating one of its Boeing 747-400 Freighters with its nose painted green. The improved paint, which incorporates new ingre-rndients, covers the base material of the fuselage with thin layers of paint which effectively reduces the weight of the fuselage by around 100Ibs (45kg) per aircraft, cutting the amount offuel it consumes. The paint is also weather-resistant, making it less vulnerable to rain and exposure to ultra violet rays which cause degradation in colour and gloss. This will extend the working life of the airliners paint while reducing the amount of cleaning agent used.
