laminarize, v. Aeronaut.|ˈlæmɪnəraɪz|
[f. laminar a. + -ize.]
trans. To design (an aircraft surface) so as to maximize the area over which the flow in the boundary layer is laminar. So ˈlaminarized ppl. a.
1960Times 2 Sept. 6/3 Handley Page are about to test in flight a complete laminarized wing. 1961Aeroplane CI. 428/1 This has been achieved by ‘laminarizing’ nearly half the metal skin of the airframe, including the fuselage forward of the cabin, and the leading-edges back to half-chord on the tailplane and fin. These surfaces are free from protruding rivet heads or skin overlap. 1966D. Stinton Anat. Aeroplane 265 The most promising technique is to laminarize a large part of the surface of an aeroplane—70 per cent or more—to bring about greatly improved lift/drag ratios.
Also ˌlaminariˈzation, the design or use of laminarized surfaces.
1960Times 2 Sept. 6/3 The airliner would cruise at high subsonic speed, although laminarization was still effective above sonic speed. 1964New Scientist 6 Feb. 329/3 Beyond the first generation supersonic airliner, which is already half-way towards being an all-lifting surface, the next step might be laminarisation..in combination with an all-wing design. 1966D. Stinton Anat. Aeroplane 265 The conclusion is that laminarization leads to huge savings in fuel weight. |
