An active flow control drag-induced damping reduction apparatus. The apparatus includes a variable frequency signal power supply; a jet generator defining an internal cavity and having pump member, and coupled to the variable frequency signal power supply to receive a control signal; a feedback sensor coupled to the pump member to generate a feedback signal measuring the reciprocating motion of the pump member; a detection circuit that receives the feedback signal and measures a difference compared to the variable frequency generator; and an adjustment circuit that receives the measured difference and tunes the variable frequency signal of the variable frequency signal power supply to maintain the jet generator at an optimum flow.
