| Description | M = 0.83 Laminar Flow Control (LFC) transports, carrying large percentage payloads over a range of 20000 kilometers at cruise L/D's of 39 appear feasible with large space externally braced wings, external fuel pods, active controls, and 70 percent laminar flow on wing and tail surfaces, engine nacelles and struts, and a turbulent fuselage. A combination of a swept-forward inboard and a swept-back outer wing appears superior overall, especially for laminar flow and eliminating leading edge contamination probably caused by flyspecks and ice crystals. Wing divergence appears controllable by a combination of various methods. Wind-mounted superfans with extensive laminar flow on their nacelles appear practical. Their dominant tone noise is below the frequency range of the most strongly amplified TS-waves. |
