Periodic Reporting for period 1 - WINGPULSE (Develop and test power efficient actuator concepts for separation flow control at large aerodynamic areas requiring very low actuation energy)

Flow separation on aircraft wings has been linked with loss of lift and extra drag. The recent development of larger, more efficient Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) engines requires slat cut backs at the juncture of the engine pylon, which significantly promotes separation at...
