It is shown that large portion of drag of long range subsonic aircraft is viscous and subject to performance improvement by laminarization; to achieve this, portion of boundary layer must be sucked from affected wing surface and pumped overboard; principle of laminar flow aircraft; means of obtaining power to drive suction compressor are classified and comparison of performance of 3 classes of propulsion systems shown; tabulation of performance and weights of turbojets and turbofans.
