An aircraft is provided and includes a fuselage including a top and a tail, a main rotor apparatus disposed at the top of the fuselage, which rotates one or more rotors to generate lift, and an active flow control (AFC) system. The AFC system includes plasma actuators configured to generate plasma at a location adjacent to the main rotor apparatus and/or at the tail of the fuselage.
