Abstract

Perhaps the work of Loek Boermans will bring to reality a sailplane application of the dream of the previous workers in this field. The ultimate of 100% laminar flow is a beckoning goal. While cost and complexity may long delay application to production sailplanes, a research craft may lie within the realm of possibility.
