At high Reynolds numbers, the performance of a low drag suction LFC airplane is essentially controlled by the induced drag and the turbulent friction drag of the nonlaminarized area. The question then arises as to how the airplane cruise lift to drag ratio (L/D) sub cruise) cruise increases with increasing extent of laminar flow 0 sub lam./0 sub total (0 = airplane wetted area). In particular, the question arises as to the airplane performance in the optimum case with all laminar flow over the airplane wetted area. Design approaches of all laminar flow LFC airplanes which optimize the airplane range . R = eta sub ov times (L/D) times H times lambda n(W sub 0/W sub E) are considered.
