Data science, and machine learning in particular, is rapidly transforming the scientific and
industrial landscapes. The aerospace industry is poised to capitalize on big data and …

The pervasiveness of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), from insect to airplane scales,
combined with active flow control maturity, has set the scene for vehicles that differ markedly …

Active flow control has not found wide application in aircraft due to a combination of
technical challenges, costs, and small impact on overall aircraft performance. Future …

A 10%-scale high-lift version of the Common Research Model and an active flow control
(AFC) version of the model equipped with a simple-hinged flap were successfully tested …

HE sizing, economics, and safety of modern transport aircraft are strongly influenced by the
high-lift systems for takeoff and landing operations [1]. The NASA Advanced Air Transport …

In this paper, the fluid flow behavior and cooling characteristics of a sweeping impingement
jet were investigated. Also, the difference between free and confined impingement schemes …

The aerodynamic performance of conventional high-lift systems is typically achieved using
multi-element flap configurations with cross-stream gaps that necessitate the use of complex …

Most modern high-lift systems on commercial transports are designed to provide the
necessary lift while minimizing weight and complexity because, weight and complexity …

When pressurized with a fluid, the sweeping jet actuator (SWJA) emits a self-induced and
self-sustained temporally continuous, but spatially oscillating bi-stable jet at the outlet. The …

A High Efficiency Low Power (HELP) methodology has been successfully developed and
tested on an active flow control (AFC) version of the 10%-scale high-lift Common Research …
