Abstract
The state of the boundary layer, laminar or turbulent, influences the drag, the performance of the wing, of stabilization and control devices etc., and the flight characteristics of an airplane. A given flight vehicle is considered as “transition insensitive”, if the location of laminar-turbulent transition does not affect these items.
