Overview

Objectives:

Flap systems are highly efficient lift providing elements in low speed flight. A potential measure to shift the stall onset to higher limits can be found in an Active Flow Control (AFC) approach by pulsed blowing. The majority of corresponding research aims at understanding the aerodynamic phenomenon allowing broad bandwidth investigations to find optimum configurations. In this proposal the systems aspects were addressed with respect to the active flow control actuator system. The overall system integration was performed by the SFWA partner EADS-IW with support provided by TUB through this project.
