The multi-layered suction skin, equipped with intrinsic pressure drop distribution and known as ‘Tailored Skin Single Duct’ (TSSD) concept, was recently validated by a large-scale wind tunnel test campaign, together with TU Braunschweig and DNW Wind Tunnels. The DLR development for HLFC application aims to increase the maturity and reduce the manufacturing costs for active boundary layer control for transport aircraft. The described TSSD design was developed within the Clean Sky 2 project NACOR (New Innovative Aircraft Configurations and Related Issues).
