This article presents the first ever systematic demonstration of the drag reduction at supersonic speed regime caused by non-rigid surfaces prepared using compliant viscoelastic coating. This work lays the foundation to a new engineering paradigm that fuses engineered surfaces to create positive aerodynamic outcomes at speeds that are relevant to aerial vehicles.
