boundary-layer control — Methods used to control the boundary layer by sucking air through slots, making a series of small holes or porous surfaces, by blowing, or by using discrete jets. These methods can be employed to decrease drag or to increase lift on the whole or… … Aviation dictionary
blown-boundary-layer control — A system in which the blown boundary layer uses high velocity air blown through ducts or jets to energize the boundary layer on the upper surface of the wing at low speeds, especially during approach and landing to keep the boundary layer from… … Aviation dictionary
