Dear fellow aviators,
I am learning about Aerodynamics right now, So I stumbled upon few question, Can somebody please explain me the concept of boundary layer, and Why does it get bigger as you move aft on an Airfoil? 2. Why does laminar airflow create less friction Drag?

Thank you for all of your help, It is appreciated,
Sandesh P.
