One approach to reduce aerodynamic drag is hybrid laminar flow control. Such designs require different wing geometries compared to its turbulent counterpart, so that the different flight loads and the geometry itself might have an effect on the structural mass. This work focuses on the impact of a HLFC wing design on the flight loads and structural mass of a long-range transport configuration.
