The achievement of large areas of natural laminar flow over aircraft engine nacelles offers significant savings in aircraft fuel consumption for small to medium range civil transport aircraft. Based upon current engine configurations, net benefits of up to 1.5 % sfc (specific fuel consumption) are possible. In addition the engine nacelle is ideally suited to the early inclusion of laminar flow technology being a relatively self-contained item with the possibility of application to existing airframes.
