This paper presents the results of a recent flight experiment conducted to evaluate surface-mounted hot-film sensors designed to detect Tollmien-Schlichting instability in the boundary layer in flight. Flight data are presented to illustrate the design and operation of the sensors and to provide information on disturbance growth and transition mode. The results of calculations using a boundary-layer analysis code and boundary-layer linear stability analysis methods are included.
