Active Flow Effectors

Active Flow Effectors for Noise and Separation Control - Variable effectors for enhanced vehicle and aeroelastic control. This novel flow effector technology allows variable shape control of aircraft structure through actively deformable surfaces to enable separation control and enhanced mixing. This leads to increased vehicle control, overall efficiency, and reduced noise throughout all flight regimes.
