    A Modeling Approach for the Fatigue Behavior of Laser Drilled Micro Perforated Structural Panels

    With hybrid laminar flow control the drag can be reduced for airfoils. This is done by boundary layer suction through millions of small holes in the skin panels. The goal of this paper is to assess the impact ...
