material rather than having a 55 00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:27,070 Riblet material rather than having a meticulously smooth surface this is an 56 00:01:27,070 --> 00:01:27,080 meticulously smooth surface this is an 57 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,529 meticulously smooth surface this is an intentionally rough surface and it is 58 00:01:29,529 --> 00:01:29,539 intentionally rough surface and it is 59 00:01:29,539 --> 00:01:32,020 intentionally rough surface and it is the microscopic roughness that makes it 60 00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:32,030 the microscopic roughness that makes it 61 00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:35,620 the microscopic roughness that makes it work and that leads to testable drag 62 00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:35,630 work and that leads to testable drag 63 00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:37,749 work and that leads to testable drag reductions in a variety of different 64 00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:37,759 reductions in a variety of different 65 00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:42,070 reductions in a variety of
