The handsome heads of McLaren have confirmed to be an alternative for the wiper to work. The system is derived from the aviation industry and would be invisible rain, insects and mud shedding.

What exactly takes place in the laboratories of the British would McLaren not to say. The brand is afraid that competitors agree to the get go. Be aware, however, insiders tell that it was going to be a system that works with ultrasonic sound waves. By using a so-called transducer show of 30 kHz by the windscreen to let go, would the wipers be redundant. The vibrations should ensure that rain and other debris from the windshield down bounce.

The ultrasonic windshield is already being used by fighter jets and avoid a lot of trouble with air resistance, freezing up and worn rubbers. In addition, the annoying back and forth swipe of the wipers, thereby, also in the past.

Expensive? Not at all, the relatively simple technique would be less than a tenner cost. It is to be expected McLaren’s system to apply to their future models, this would certainly continue until 2015 to take to get a ruitenwisserloze McLaren may encounter.

Coincidentally (?) McLaren this week announced 374 McLaren MP4-12C’s recall due to possible failure of windshield wipers. In hot humid climates would be the ruitenwissermotoren get stuck. High time for a worthy alternative. (via dailymail.co.uk)
