NASA flight experiment conducted to evaluate surface-mounted hot-film sensors designed to detect Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) instability in boundary layer in flight. New technique has considerable value in applied research aimed at extending regions of natural laminar flow on aircraft. Aids research into mechanisms leading to transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layers. Makes it practical to take measurements in many locations on wing surface for tests in flight. Useful in studying transitions in such flow as those in pipes, ducts, channels, compressors, and diffusers.
