At faster speeds, does the air boundary layer increase?

My thinking says that it does and that it would create more and more problems as it grows.

    Does it not get more compressed and then shed more vortices? Which remove the air from behind the vehicle and so create more drag ??

    The curved wing creates an prolonged path for the air to shuttle. The air could "velocity up" to get around the curve interior the wing. If the craft is vacationing basically particularly subsonic then the air over the wing can unquestionably be supersonic. slightly extra info- while the air "quickens", the stress drops. This creates a stress differential (bigger stress under the wing and decrease stress above the wing) which creates raise. seem up the Bernoulli theory. that's the comparable consequence as once you run the bathe and the bathe curtain "sucks in" in direction of the bathe flow.
