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 ...

Active flow control (AFC) encompasses a range of techniques designed to alter fluid flow characteristics in real time by introducing targeted actuation. Central to many of these methods are fluidic ...

機体の制御に、方向舵や昇降舵、フラップ、エルロンなどをひっくるめた「動翼」ではなく、「アクティブ・フロー・コントロール(AFC)」と呼ばれる加圧ジェットを用いるジェット機「X-65」が、2025年夏に初飛行予定であることがわかりました。 https://www.space ...
