The potential application of hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) to the external surface of an advanced, high bypass ratio turbofan engine nacelle with a wetted area that approaches 15 percent of the wing total wetted area of future commercial transports is presented. A pressure distribution compatible with HLFC is specified and the corresponding nacelle geometry is computed employing a predictor/corrector design technique. Performance evaluations on an advanced twin-engine transport configuration are discussed to determine potential benefits in terms of reduced fuel consumption.
