Title:
垂直離着陸航空機の翼、ナセルおよび/または胴体への抵抗低減のためのプラズマアクチュエータ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009511360
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An aircraft includes a surface over which an airflow passes. A plasma actuator (1) is configured to generate a plasma above the surface, the plasma coupling a directed momentum into the air surrounding the surface to reduce separation of the airflow from the surface. A method of reducing separation of an airflow from a surface of an aircraft includes generating a plasma in air surrounding the surface at a position where the airflow would separate from the surface in the absence of the plasma.
