> laminar/turbulent and attached/separated are independent descriptors
You’re right, I should have said when state changes.
L/T:A/S are theoretically independent, but not independent for a given airfoil. (High-lift airfoils, common in gliders and most airframes with flaps deployed, are turbulent boundary-layer airfoils.)
