Laminar flow technology is one of the promising means to improve the performance of aircraft. With long laminar boundary layers on wing surfaces and on other aircraft components, the skin friction and thereby the drag is reduced considerably. The state of the art of designing laminar flow airfoils and wings for higher Reynolds numbers, applicable to commuter or transport aircraft is described and an indication of the drag reduction by applying this technology is given.
