Hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) and variable camber (VC) are promising techniques for reducing aerodynamic drag of transport aircraft. This thesis numerically investigates the synergy potential between HLFC and VC. Using linear stability theory and transition turbulence models, the synergistic potential on different integration levels throughout multiple parts of the flight envelope is confirmed. The results are also used to formulate reduced order models, enabling multi-fidelity analyses on overall aircraft level.
