Plagiarizing old stuff for grant money
This is old stuff. My father, an old time aerodynamist was one of the 2 original founders of the American Helicopter Society with 80 patents, (He worked with Igor Sikorsky, Stan hiller, frank paisecki and even spent time with Charles Lindbergh) sat next to a guy at Aerojet in the 50's who invented Vortex generators, those little tabs you see on the leading edge on the wings of commercial aircraft. Does the same thing.
I do like the bumps on the whales nose, should try that one on a sub

Hey that guy with the suit covered with question marks (Lesco?) is responsible, but on the series side, the first thing that came to mind was Golf Balls have dimples that make them more aerodynamic.
