“…According to Woan et al 1991, Anderson & Bohn-Meyer 1992, and Norris 1994, the suction glove on the F-16XL Ship 1 was designed for a Mach n umber of 1.6, altitude of 44000 ft, angle of attack o f 2 o , momentum thickness Reynolds number on the attachment line of less than 114, and a unit Reynolds numb e r o f 2 : 53 10 6 ft. Suction was limited to the rst 25 chord and attachment-line CF disturbances were the primary focus of the LFC experiment Figure 5.…”

Aircraft laminar ow control LFC from the 1930's through the 1990's is reviewed and the current status of the technology is assessed. Examples are provided to demonstrate the bene ts of LFC for subsonic and supersonic aircraft. Early studies related to the laminar boundary-layer ow p h ysics, manufacturing tolerances for laminar ow, and insect-contamination avoidance are discussed. LFC concept studies in wind-tunnel and ight experiments are the major focus of the paper. LFC design tools are brie y outlined for completeness.

“…One could replace the existing wing of the test aircraft and build a new wing, such as in the X-21 program where a Douglas B-66 aircraft was modified with a new laminar flow swept wing (Fowell & Antonatos 1965). A second option is to install a wing glove over the existing wing as in the F-16XL experiments (Woan et al 1991), B-757 flight tests (Collier 1993), and the NASA Jetstar flight tests (Fischer et al 1983, Maddalon & Braslow 1990, to name a few. In these cases the new airfoil shape was built up over the existing wing.…”
