Summary of Achievements - Demonstrated flow separation delay using active, distributed microsystems under flight scale conditions. - Developed/demonstrated first-pass flush mounted flow sensors and high authority flow actuators - Identified a number of relatively near-term applications - Intakes - High Lift - Turbomachine compressors - Developed/validated modelling capabilities for simple subboundary layer actuator concepts
Date/reference/classification/Slide Number
Outstanding Issues
- Technology still relatively immature with regard to achieving all theoretically possible benefits - However, limited application could be conceivable - perhaps for flow separation control
high lift system performance improvement Turbomachine compressors Intake performance improvement unconventional flight controls (compliant aerodynamics)
