On the Design of Airfoils in Which the Transition of the Boundary Layer Is Delayed
Description:
Memorandum examining the phenomenon of airfoil drag, which is related almost exclusively to skin friction at high speed flight conditions. The primary way to reduce drag is to delay the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the boundary layer along the surface. A particular airflow design that may delay transition and therefore have fewer problems related to drag are provided.
