Abstract: In order to suppress aeroelastic instabilities on a transonically operating aircraft comprising a pair of wing halves at which a transonic flow forms spatially limited supersonic flow regions that each, in a main flow direction of the flow, end in a compression shock, a boundary layer of the flow is temporarily thickened-up in at least one supersonic flow region at at least one of the two wing halves, when approaching a flight envelope of the aircraft with increasing flight Mach number of the aircraft. The boundary layer of the flow is thickened-up to such an extent that the compression shock at the end of the respective supersonic flow region at the present flight Mach number of the aircraft induces a separation of the boundary layer of the flow from the wing half.

Abstract: In a method of expanding a flight envelope of an aircraft comprising a pair of wing halves and extendable leading-edge flaps at leading wing edges of the wing halves towards higher transonic flight Mach numbers, at least one of the leading-edge flaps at one of the two wing halves is extended in flight direction, when approaching the flight envelope with increasing flight Mach number of the aircraft.

Abstract: Described are 8 aqueous compositions useful for treating textile materials to impart oil- and/or water-repellent properties thereto. The compositions contain inter alia polymers containing perfluoroalkyl groups (RF groups), wherein 55 to 100% of the RF groups contain 6 carbon atoms.
