Laminar-flow control is an area of aeronautical research that has a
long history at NASA's Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight
Research Center, their predecessor organizations, and elsewhere. In
this monograph, Albert L. Braslow, who spent much of his career at
Langley working with this research, presents a history of that
portion of laminar-flow technology known as active laminar-flow
control, which employs suction of a small quantity of air through
airplane surfaces. This important technique offers the potential
for significant reduction in drag and, thereby, for large increases
in range or reductions in fuel usage for aircraft. For transport
aircraft, the reductions in fuel consumed as a result of
laminar-flow control may equal 30 percent of present consumption.
