The Laminar Flow Control Group

The Laminar Flow Control Group is a team of researchers focused on managing airflow over aircraft wings to reduce turbulence. By controlling the way air moves—keeping it smooth and steady—they aim to lower drag and improve fuel efficiency. This involves studying techniques like shaping surfaces and using suction to maintain laminar (smooth) flow, which enhances aircraft performance. Their work is essential for designing more aerodynamic aircraft that are faster, more economical, and environmentally friendly.
