A fluidic actuator is configured to be mounted to an airfoil surface. The actuator includes a rotor supported within a housing. The rotor contains at least one generally radially extending nozzle that converges from an entry at an interior circumference of the rotor to an exit at an exterior circumference thereof, the converging shape of the nozzle assuring high velocity airflow at the nozzle exit. In one form, each nozzle also includes a curved path by which high-pressure air is enabled to induce spinning of the rotor. The fluidic actuator further includes a diffuser through which high-pressure air from the nozzles is cyclically ejected from those of the nozzles instantaneously exposed to the diffuser. In one form, the rotor spins at 300 revolutions per second and provides nozzle ejections effective to avoid boundary layer separation; i.e. to maintain an attached boundary layer flow over the airfoil.
