Results are presented from three experiments in which direct, local measurements of the skin friction reduction due to flat-plate turbulence manipulators for overall viscous drag reduction were obtained. The results suggest that only a very small overall net drag reduction will be possible for such devices at moderate momentum thickness-derived Reynolds number values, since maximum skin friction drag is neither large nor sustained.
