Zusammenfassung:Drag modification systems for aircraft and related methods. An example system for modifying drag on an aircraft includes a boundary layer intake plenum and an eductor. The eductor defines a primary inlet to receive a primary fluid, a secondary inlet in fluid communication with the intake plenum to receive a secondary fluid entrained from the intake plenum, and an outlet to exhaust a mixed flow including the primary fluid and the secondary fluid. The primary fluid is a motive fluid having flow parameters to generate a suction at the secondary inlet.
