AERODYNAMIC SURFACE ASSEMBLY DEFINING A FLUIDIC ACTUATION ORIFICE An aerodynamic surface assembly is provided to facilitate control of the flow over the aerodynamic surface (10). The aerodynamic surface assembly includes an aerodynamic surface (10) defining an outer mould line (12) over which a fluid is to flow in a downstream direction (14). The outer mould line (12) defines a smooth contour that is interrupted by step down region (20) that is inset relative to the smooth contour defined by the outer mould line (12) upstream thereof. The aerodynamic surface (10) defines an orifice (22) opening in to the step down region (20). The aerodynamic surface assembly may also include an overhang (24) extending from the outer mould line (12) of the aerodynamic surface (10) upstream at the orifice (22). The overhang (24) extends in the downstream direction (14) and at least partially over the orifice (22). The aerodynamic surface assembly may also include a fluidic actuator (23) defining a pair of curved passageways (26) extending from an input region and are in fluid communication with the orifice (22). 12 -42 20' ---12 32 22
