Possibilities for drag reduction by boundary layer control [PDF]
The mechanics of laminar boundary layer transition are reviewed. Drag possibilities for boundary layer control are analyzed using assumed conditions of transition Reynolds number, inlet loss, number of slots, blower efficiency, and duct losses.

Determination of skin friction on a rotating sphere in magnetic levitation
A simple and inexpensive experimental procedure is proposed to investigate the skin friction caused by air in a rotating sphere. A device using a magnetic field keeps the sphere levitating.

Wave drag as the objective function in transonic fighter wing optimization [PDF]
The original computational method for determining wave drag in a three dimensional transonic analysis method was replaced by a wave drag formula based on the loss in momentum across an isentropic shock.

Influence of base modifications on in-flight base drag in the presence of jet exhaust for Mach numbers from 0.7 to 1.5 [PDF]
The use of external modifications in the base region to reduce the base drag of a blunt-base body in the presence of jet engine exhaust was investigated in flight.
