Abstract: The present disclosure presents systems and methods for dynamic stall control in aircrafts. One such method involves positioning one or more counter-flow point embedded electrode plasma actuator devices on an edge of an airfoil of an aircraft, wherein a counter-flow point embedded electrode plasma actuator device comprises at least a first electrode that is unexposed and embedded under a surface of the airfoil and a second electrode positioned on or in a top surface of the airfoil; and/or activating the one or more counter-flow point embedded electrode plasma actuator devices during a flight of the aircraft, wherein a dynamic stall angle of a pitching airfoil is increased during the flight of the aircraft by forcing plasma over the edge of the pitching airfoil.
