(2013-01-15)Skin friction drag reduction is one of the most promising paths in the investigation of the reduction of aircraft fuel burn. 40 – 50% of overall drag comes from the surfaces of the wings and stabilizers. Natural laminar ...

(2014-12-12)Micron-sized, spanwise-periodic, discrete roughness elements (DREs) were applied to and tested on a 30° swept-wing model in order to study their effects on boundary-layer transition in flight where stationary crossflow ...

(2022-12-01)Transport aircraft consume significant fuel and produce commensurate pollution. In-creasing the extent of laminar flow over wings is one strategy to reduce skin friction drag and thus decrease fuel consumption. The boundary ...
