Abstract
A parasitic drag induced boundary layer reduction system and methods for reducing the boundary layer on aircraft, vehicles, and structure. The system may include a suction generator configured to utilize parasitic drag in reducing boundary layer effect and enhancing laminate flow. The suction generator may include at least one of a suction port on a rearward facing surface of an aircraft, a suction vane on each wing of the aircraft, a wingtip vane on each wing of the aircraft, and a slotted tail section on a tail of the aircraft. The system may also include an induction structure configured to introduce airflow to suction created by the suction generator as the aircraft is in flight.
