A streamlined body has oppositely facing external pressure and suction surfaces that meet to form a leading edge region. Passageways within the body direct pressurized fluid from passageway outlets over the pressure surface toward the leading edge region at a shallow angle with respect to the pressure surface. The pressurized fluid travels around the leading edge region to the suction surface, energizing the boundary layer on the suction surface.
