Despite a sharp drop in funding for plasma actuator research for aerodynamic control, important progress has been made this year toward viable flow control systems. University of Notre Dame researchers continue in their development of plasma-based vortex generators. These generators help keep the flow attached by thickening the boundary layer. Experimental tests on a V-22 tiltrotor wing model showed post-stall drag reduction of up to 40 drag counts.
