UK develops self-healing material that can allow damaged aircraft to repair themselves

According to foreign media reports, after a long period of use, small holes and cracks may appear on the outer shell of an aircraft, and such issues can also be identified by mechanics during routine maintenance checks. However, a technology developed by UK scientists mimics natural healing processes, enabling aircraft to have self-healing capabilities, thus eliminating the concerns of airlines.
