    "abstract": "A problem of great concern in aviation and submarine propulsion is the\ncontrol of the boundary layer and, in particular, the methods to extend the\nlaminar region as a means to decrease noise and fuel consumption. In this paper\nwe study the flow of air along an airfoil when a layer of ionized gas and a\nlongitudinal electric field are created in the boundary layer region. By\nderiving scaling solutions and more accurate numerical solutions we discuss the\npossibility of achieving significant boundary layer control for realistic\nphysical parameters. Practical design formulas and criteria are obtained. We\nalso discuss the perspectives for active control of the laminar-to-turbulent\ntransition fluctuations by electromagnetic field modulation.",
