The development of laminar-flow technology for commercial transport aircraft is discussed and illustrated in a review of studies undertaken in the NASA Aircraft Energy Efficiency (ACEE) program since 1976. The early history of laminar-flow-control (LFC) techniques and natural-laminar-flow (NLF) airfoil designs is traced, and the aims of ACEE are outlined. The application of slotted structures, composites, and electron-beam-perforated metals in supercritical LFC airfoils, wing panels, and leading-edge systems is examined; wind-tunnel and flight test results are summarized; studies of high-altitude ice effects are described; and hybrid LFC/NLF designs are characterized. Drawings and photographs are provided.
