Experiments on laminar suction wings at Institute for Aerodynamics, Zurich, verified full chord laminar flow and low wing profile drags by means of suction up to Re 2.5×106 wing chord; to investigate behavior at reduced turbulence level, corresponding to flight conditions, 15%-thick slotted low drag suction wing model was tested in Langley Field TDT tunnel; for comparison, Zurich BLC results and profile drags of various non-suction wings are presented with laminar and turbulent friction drag of flat plates.
