AEROMEMS II aimed to undertake industrial-scale wind-tunnel demonstrations and engineering integration assessments of MEMS flow separation control technology applied to improving the performance of wing high-lift systems, intake ducts and turbo-machinery components. A target objective was to demonstrate the ability of MEMS flow control technology to increase maximum lift by 10-15%.

Development of prototype MEMS flow sensors and actuators had to be undertaken to address the issues of robustness associated with engineering integration. Finally, aerodynamic prediction tools had to be developed and validated for use during future full-scale development. This programme was focussed on the industrial development, demonstration and a
