Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...
Aurora Flight Sciences has been chosen by DARPA to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of active flow control actuators for primary flight control. The award is Phase 3 of DARPA’s ...
DARPA has selected Aurora Flight Sciences to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of using active flow control (AFC) actuators for primary flight control. The award is Phase 3 of ...
Plasma technology based on Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been widely demonstrated to be a novel active flow control method. In order to make the plasma flow control technology more practical, ...
General Electric is investigating a range of fluidic techniques for active flow and combustion control, ranging from synthetic jets to cold plasma. The ability to effect large flow changes with small ...
Boeing and the US Air Force have demonstrated that active flow control can enable safe munitions release from a weapons bay at high supersonic speed, paving the way for future strike aircraft to ...
