A wind tunnel model was designed, manufactured, and tested to evaluate the potential of active aerodynamic flow control for multi-element airfoils. The active flow control system involves so-called microjets –small, low momentum, normal to the surface jets located near the trailing edge of the flap –for controlling the lift and improving the aerodynamic performance characteristics of airplane high-lift systems. The configuration selected for this test is the NLR7301 two-element airfoil and it was tested in the Oran W. Nicks Low-Speed Wind Tunnel at Texas A&M University at a chord Reynolds number of 2.0 million and Machnumber of 0.10. This paper presents wind tunnel results for the NLR7301 in the Flap 20 and Flap 30 configurations. The wind tunnel results include surface pressure distributions, lift and pitching moment, and flow visualizations.The results of this experiment validate the effectiveness of the microjet with regards to control of lift in the linear regime for multi-element airfoils.
