Now, can you explain to the class what effect sticking this tape to
"just about anything else you care to stick it to," is going to have
on drag?



Well, the dimples form a very shallow turbulent layer that paadoxically
aids in the adherence of the boundary layer to the surface thus reducing
turbulence and as a result, drag as well.


So if I stick this on my propeller (or "just about anything else you care
to stick it to," ) I am going to reduce drag?
