USA Bobsled & Skeleton Looks to Get Competitive Edge by Using AERO for Sochi

USA Bobsled & Skeleton Team have looked to increase their performance at the Sochi Olympics by agreeing a deal to use AERO Advanced Paint Technology, a film-based paint currently in use on high-performance professional racecars and commercial jetliners.

The deal includes their two-man bobsleds, which were designed and engineered by BMW of North America.

“In our sport, every hundredth of a second counts,” said USBSF CEO Darrin Steele. “We went with AERO paint because it is lighter and more durable than other materials we’ve used. This allows us to shave fractions of a second over the mile-long course and provide a competitive advantage to our teams.”

AERO is a disruptive, green technology paint applique system, created and applied without solvents or sprayers, eliminating the fumes and environmental impact of harsh chemicals.

“AERO’s patented technology was developed to meet the demands of the aerospace industry and has shown great value in motorsports,” said Jim McGuire, CEO of entrotech, Inc., AERO’s parent company. “We are excited and proud that the USBSF teams representing America in the Winter Olympic Games are taking advantage of the unique benefits of AERO’s high-performance paint technology.”
