    摘要: A fan control effector for an aircraft comprises at least one blade configured to be pivotably deployable in a radially outward direction from a retracted position to a deployed position such that the blade extends out of the aircraft. The fan control effector may be mounted in a symmetrical arrangement about a longitudinal axis on opposing wings of the aircraft. Furthermore, the fan control effector may comprise any number of blades for independent deployment outwardly from the wing. The blades are configured to be angularly deployable along a direction that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The blades may be configured to be deployable sequentially from the wing starting with an initial deployment of an aft-most one of the blades.

    摘要: An aerodynamic control system incorporates multiple Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) flow control actuators adjacent a surface of an airborne vehicle in a path of laminar boundary layer flow over the surface. A control computer receives a control input and selectively distributes power to an activation array selected from the DBD flow control actuators for transition to a first operating condition tripping the laminar boundary layer at selected streamwise locations for turbulent flow. When the control computer removes the distributed power the DBD flow control actuators return to a second operating condition restoring the laminar boundary layer.

    摘要: A plasma actuator system and method especially well adapted for use on airborne mobile platforms, such as aircraft, for directional and/or attitude control. The system includes at least one plasma actuator having first and second electrodes mounted on a surface of an aircraft. The first and second electrodes are arranged parallel to a boundary layer flow path over the surface. A third electrode is mounted between the first and second electrodes and laterally offset from the first and second electrodes. A high AC voltage signal is applied across the first and third electrodes, which induces a fluid flow between the energized electrodes that helps to delay separation of the boundary layer. Applying the AC voltage across the second and third electrodes causes an induced fluid flow that creates the opposite effect of influencing the boundary layer flow to separate from the surface. A plurality of the actuators can be selectively placed at various locations on the aircraft, and selectively energized to provide directional control and/or attitude control over the aircraft.

    摘要: A system and method for controlling a freestream air flow over a surface of an airborne mobile platform, for example an aircraft. In one implementation the system includes a plurality of plasma actuators used on an undersurface of a fuselage of an aircraft upstream of a weapons bay of the aircraft. When the plasma actuators are energized an induced flow is created adjacent the actuators. The induced flow operates to deflect the shear layer created when the freestream air flow moves over the weapons bay (while the bay doors are open), away from the weapons bay. This significantly reduces the oscillating acoustic pressure waves that would normally be produced if the shear layer turns into the weapons bay. The system and method significantly reduces acoustic noise inside the weapons bay and improves separation of ordnance from the weapons bay.
