| Enabling Flow Control Technology for Low Speed (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| This paper discusses several technologies currently being investigated for use on low speed UAVs. This includes adaptive wing technology that controls separation via active changes in the camber, use of large scale surface roughness to control separation, plasma actuators to control stall and enhance lift, and inflatable wings that can be tailored using wing warping. Results from wind tunnel and flight tests from each of the systems is presented. | |||||||||||||||
