In the search for methods of reducing aircraft drag, much attention has been devoted to the problems of maintaining large areas of laminar flow on wings. However, the operational requirement of high ...

Boeing plans to reduce airframe drag on the 787 by standardising on a specific thickness of grey paint (pictured below) for the engine inlet which it says will preserve natural laminar flow over a ...

Natural laminar flow (NLF) airfoils are key to achieving optimum performance and fuel efficiency in many vintage and current production turbine-powered business aircraft. NLF is not a new discovery.

Natural laminar flow is a known means of reducing aircraft drag and energy consumption, but its practical implementation is difficult on commercial airliners that cruise at transonic speeds and ...

‐ Significantly reduces aircraft drag, improves fuel efficiency, and contributes to CO2 emissions reduction, marking a major milestone in sustainable aviation technology. - TOKYO, March 28, ...

Nevada-based Aerion Technologies says natural laminar flow (NLF) advances it is exploring with at least one airframer could come to fruition within the next five years. Doug Nichols, Aerion chief ...

NASA Dryden Flight Research Center's F-15B Research Testbed aircraft has been busy this spring, flying an experimental test fixture in partnership with Aerion Corporation of Reno, Nevada. NASA Dryden ...

We aren’t sure if [Joshua Bellamy] is serious that he wants a laminar flow to water his plants, but there are many places where having a smooth and predictable flow of water is useful or even ...
