In this study, a new technique for active control of the flow around a corner is proposed and a key parameter dominating the flow deflection angle is proposed. In the technique, a microjet array is ...

The Boeing subsidiary is designing an aircraft for the US military that can fly without traditional mechanical control surfaces, as part of an attempt to increase aerodynamic performance. Boeing ...

It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC), using a series of nozzle arrays along the wings connected to a pressurized air system, capable of blowing controlled bursts of air that can directly ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences has won a US defence contract to develop an experimental aircraft that can fly without traditional control surfaces like rudders, flaps and ailerons. The US ...

The X-plane, designated X-65, aims to demonstrate the benefits of active flow control at tactically relevant scale and flight conditions. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing company, has begun ...
