Question:

The extent of the laminar boundary layer on the surface of an aircraft or missile varies with altitude. For a given speed, will the laminar boundary-layer length increase or decrease with altitude? Why? Plot the ratio of laminar boundary-layer length at altitude \(z\), to boundary-layer length at sea level, as a function of \(z\), up to altitude \(z=30 \mathrm{~km}\), for a standard atmosphere.
