Skin Friction Drag

[@arielsuave]

A well detailed and clear explanation into aviation skin drag

[@hmabboud]

I wish all vidoes on youtube are as perfect as this one

[@dylanalbertazzi]

The animations are awesome!

[@cjnewson88]

Fantastic video, mind if I use this in my next Principles of Flight class? Should help my students easy.

Actually swimmers have been banned from wearing the sharkskin suits which have deliberate surface irregularities which reduce the drag. So why hasn't this technology been adopted by aviation?

[@TheGreatOldOak]

Those irregularities do not reduce drag on a streamlined shape so they are not used on streamlined shapes.

[@mariapelares2615]

what are the features design to minimize skin friction drag ?

[@gokmen9928]

Very cool animation. Thanks.

Plz tell us about Riblets. then why riblets are used to reduce skin friction drag?

Thx a lot. I wanna bring this to my facebook page by clicking 'Share(Share to Facebook)'. Is it okay for copyright?
