The friction drag force, which is a tangential force on the aircraft surface, depends substantially on boundary layer configuration and viscosity.

Before then, American had been the only major U.S. airline to leave most of its aircraft surfaces unpainted.

In all these cases usually only critical aircraft surfaces and components are protected.

A deicing boot is a type of ice protection system installed on aircraft surfaces to permit a mechanical deicing in flight.

The material is cut to size and applied to the aircraft surfaces using a hobby iron or heat gun.

The aircraft single surface Wizard model wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, covered in Dacron sailcloth.

Computer-controlled circuitry quickly changes the light qualities of the aircraft surface to confuse human and electronic visual identification.

Pressure waves build up on aircraft surfaces differently at different Mach numbers.

During World War II, he worked on the design of aircraft surfaces, developing the mathematics to describe generalized "surface patches."

Type II fluids are "pseudoplastic", which means they contain a polymeric thickening agent to prevent their immediate flow off aircraft surfaces.
