I haven't read the book yet, but from the article it looks like it's possible to deal with friction drag at our speeds.
I looked at Barnes & Noble,and Hasting's for the book.No luck.I'll keep on trying.I did run across something of potential interest in Hermann Schlichting's Boundary Layer Theory involving laminar airfoils which may have significance to the book.I'm gonna chew on it for awhile and post when I think I've got a handle on it.P.S.,all of the Navier Stokes stuff is in Schlichting's book.
