Study of A Direct Measuring Skin Friction Gage with Rubber Compounds for Damping

A study was conducted on the measurement of skin friction, the least under-stood component of drag. Skin friction is considered the "last frontier" in drag reduction for supersonic flight, but to understand skin friction, it must be accurately measured. This study utilized the direct measu...
