Default Flow cloaking... I wonder if there are aeronautical possibilities...

Interesting article about Duke engineers applying their passive,
engineered material light/sound cloaking techniques to water,
theoretically (substantially) reducing the amount of drag generated by
a boat's hull by 'tricking' the surrounding water into standing still.
