The feasibility of remotely acquiring infrared images (thermograms) of aircraft surfaces in flight to locate flow-transition boundaries has been investigated. As used here, "remotely" means that the infrared instrumentation is mounted aboard an observing aircraft that flies along with an observed aircraft, the surface flow on which one seeks to analyze.
