Abstract

Report presenting a survey of the present status of research on boundary-layer control and its possible applications in aeronautics. The applications considered include reduction of profile drag by the elimination of turbulent separation, increase of the maximum lift coefficient through control of separation, use of suction and blowing slots near the trailing edge of the airfoil as a means of lateral control, use of boundary-layer control as a means of increasing the efficiency of diffusers and bends, and the use of boundary-layer control to influence shock-boundary-layer interaction at high speeds.
