The evolution of a successful distributed suction boundary layer control system is described, and an analysis of various high-lift aircraft has been performed to determine the wing lift and the increment of lift due to boundary layer control. Operational problems of distributed suction boundary layer control aircraft are discussed, and a comparison with other means of achieving similar lift coefficients is made.
