This paper describes the design of a laminar flow nacelle. By means of natural laminar flow, e.g. nacelle contouring, laminar boundary layers on the nacelle surface can be maintained up to 60% of the nacelle length at cruise flight conditions. As well at take-off and landing conditions the inlet flow and the outside flow is free of flow separation. The overall drag coefficient of an aircraft equipped with two laminar flow nacelles is estimated to be reduced at cruise flight by delta cD ~ 0.0011.
