Example active flow control systems and methods for aircraft are described herein. An example method includes supplying pressurized air to a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles arranged in an array across a control surface of an aircraft, and the nozzles are oriented to eject the pressurized air in a substantially streamwise direction. The method further includes activating the nozzles to eject the pressurized air in sequence to create a wave of air moving in a spanwise direction across the control surface.
