Hyundai’s Boston-themed, star-studded spot, “Smaht Pahk,” was one of the most successful commercials during the Super Bowl, ranking second overall on USA TODAY’s Ad Meter. In addition, the spot scored 738 on Ace Metrix and was the highest performing commercial overall in the highly-regarded third-party ranking that evaluates advertising effectiveness.

Hi All: While on my way to the Chicago Auto Show earlier this week, I took this short vid from a window seat just in front of the right wing as we on approach into Midway (MDW), Chicago. It was not snowing on the ground but as we are dropping into the cloud layer, this stream of water, snow, or whatever appeared between the fuselage and engine nacelle. What was interesting is that is did not wet the window, the wing, or the cowling. What is this? Is the boundary layer at maybe 250 knots strong enough to keep water vapor from penetrating to the surfaces? Wayne
By definition, the boundary layer is considered attached at the wing, window or cowling surface. Thus, it would have a different air pressure than the "slip stream" which is causing the water content to condense.
