Analysis of the Effects of Boundary-layer Control on the Take-off Performance Characteristics of a Liaison-type Airplane by Elmer A. Horton,John H. Quinn Pdf
A performance analysis is given to determine whether bondary-layer control by suction might reduce the minimum take-off distance of a four- or five-place airplane. Results indicate that boudary-layer control might be effective in improving the take-off characteristics of this type airplane having wing loading of 10 or more pounds per square foot and aspect ratios of 10 or more.
