AN important step towards a European laminar aircraft has been made by flight testing of a modified wing on a Fokker 100. During the tests which started on 12 November, laminar flow was achieved for a range of flight conditions. The initial results confirm that the expected drag reduction of up to 15% is attainable. This was revealed at a special presentation on 28 November at the Fokker facilities in the Netherlands.
