Accurate measurement of location where laminar boundary layer undergoes transition to turbulent one serves many purposes in basic aero-dynamic research and developmental testing. Individual gages must be staggered to prevent formation of turbulence at gages downstream. This arrangement precludes accurate measurements of laminar/turbulent transition regions along streamline. Complete understanding of performance, stability, and control of laminar-flow airplane requires knowledge of transition locations on wing surface, empennage surfaces, fuselage, and nacelles. Visual, acoustic, and electronic methods capable of providing this transition information.
