This scholarly monograph documents the historical development of suction-type laminar-flow control as an aerodynamic technology, with particular emphasis on its investigation through U.S. flight research programs. Drawing on decades of NASA and predecessor-agency experiments, the book traces theoretical foundations, wind-tunnel studies, aircraft applications, and the technical and operational challenges that shaped the evolution of laminar-flow control in aviation research.
