This document discusses minimizing drag on aircraft fuselages through boundary layer transition and laminar flow. It presents the following key points:
1) Reducing fuselage surface area, using lower length-to-diameter ratios, and encouraging laminar flow can significantly reduce fuselage drag.
2) Charts from theoretical formulas can be used to estimate drag for different fuselage geometries and transition locations. Lower drag is achieved with longer laminar flow lengths.
3) Testing was done on streamlined bodies to determine optimal length-to-diameter ratios and transition locations that maximize laminar flow before separation. Reductions in drag area of over 50% were possible.
