Active flow control (AFC) encompasses a range of techniques designed to alter fluid flow characteristics in real time by introducing targeted actuation. Central to many of these methods are fluidic ...

BAE Systems supports DARPA CRANE programme to improve aircraft performance with active flow control. BAE Systems announced on 6 September that it will ‘progress the design and testing of revolutionary ...

The X-plane, designated X-65, aims to demonstrate the benefits of active flow control at tactically relevant scale and flight conditions. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing company, has begun ...

Boeing and the US Air Force have demonstrated that active flow control can enable safe munitions release from a weapons bay at high supersonic speed, paving the way for future strike aircraft to ...

This paper describes the recent efforts on developing an automotive climate control system throughout integrating an electrically-controlled variable capacity scroll compressor with a fuzzy logic ...

DARPA wants to develop and fly a demonstrator aircraft that does not use external mechanical flight controls. Aurora plans to fly an X-Plane in 2025. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ...

Two decades after demonstrating the promise of active flow control, DARPA has returned to the topic with the goal of flying an X-plane that can finally take the technology over the transition hurdle ...

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued contracts to three industry teams to develop experimental aircraft (X-plane) based on active flow control, an area relatively little ...

DARPA plans to launch a program to fly an X-plane designed around active flow control with the award of contracts to conduct an extended conceptual design phase. Three contracts could be awarded ...
