In aeronautics, airflow over wings and aircraft surfaces often begins as smooth, orderly laminar flow but eventually transitions into chaotic turbulent flow. What causes this shift? ✈️

In this video, we explore the key factors that trigger the transition—including Reynolds number, surface roughness, pressure gradients, vibration, and environmental disturbances. Understanding this transition is crucial for improving aircraft performance, reducing drag, and enhancing fuel efficiency.

Whether you’re a student of aerodynamics, a pilot curious about airflow, or an aviation enthusiast, this breakdown will help you grasp the science behind one of the most fascinating phenomena in flight.
