  • Hybrid laminar flow nacelle
    Patent number: 4993663
    Abstract: A hybrid laminar flow nacelle for housing an engine of an aircraft includes an outer annular cowl having a leading lip and radially spaced and axially extending annular outer and inner forward surface portions which merge at the leading lip. The nacelle incorporates a suction bleed system between the surfaces and a tailored outer surface geometry shape for producing reduced friction drag laminar flow over the outer cowl at cruise operation of the aircraft and producing separation-free flow over the inner surface of the cowl at off-cruise operation of the aircraft.
