A method and system delay the laminar-to-turbulent transition of a supersonic or hypersonic boundary layer flow moving in a flow direction over a surface. For supersonic boundary layer flow, oblique first-mode instability waves present in the boundary layer and propagating at an oblique angle relative to the flow direction cause a laminar-to-turbulent transition in the boundary layer flow. These instability waves have a wavelength associated therewith in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction. Flow disruptors are used to generate modulations within the boundary layer flow wherein a wavelength of the modulations along the direction perpendicular to the flow direction is less than one-half of the wavelength of the instability waves. For hypersonic boundary layer flow, the flow disruptors generate modulations within the boundary layer flow wherein the wavelength of the modulations is less than streak spacing for optimal transient growth or, equivalently, in the range of one to two times the boundary layer thickness.
