I assumed they meant flat plate boundary layer theory.
Maybe a typo or language issue led that to becoming flat plane theory.

I don't see a lot of flat planes in F1 other than the floor and plank...The rear wing is CERTAINLY not a flat plane, I would question the sanity of anyone claiming it is.
Or that it's boundary layer is the same as a flat plate for that matter.

That supposed to show how boundary layers propagate off a complex 3d shape and how it interacts with pressure gradients along it's contour? Sweet!

Uhh, you asked a question, I provided a link with the answer. Sorry for doing that I guess......

That answers the size of the boundary layer off the rear wing and how it interacts with the end plates? Just curious, because when I respond to people in such a half assed manner I rightly get chewed out around here. Now if we're being fair, I think I should be able to reciprocate.

It gives you the fundamentals of aerodynamics. If you want any kind of detailed information about a complex 3d surface you need CFD.
