Plasma synthetic jet actuators (PSJAs) represent a cutting‐edge approach to active flow control by utilising pulsed plasma discharges to generate high‐speed jets. These devices have garnered ...

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 ...

Aurora Flight Sciences is quietly turning a radical research sketch into metal, bolting on 30 ft wings that will help prove whether a jet can steer with air instead of moving parts. The X-65, built ...

It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC), using a series of nozzle arrays along the wings connected to a pressurized air system, capable of blowing controlled bursts of air that can directly ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences has completed fuselage fabrication for the X-65, an experimental aircraft that replaces conventional control surfaces with embedded air-jet effectors using ...

Emerging aviation technologies developer Aurora Flight Sciences is progressing with assembly of its prototype X-65 active flow control demonstrator. Aurora on 20 November shared an image of the X-65 ...

Active flow control effectors are mounted on the D-90’s outboard wing trailing edges. Credit: Illinois Institute of Technology Researchers at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) have flown a ...
