Friction on airfoils causes several losses on cruise flight, however, this friction is necessary to avoid stall during take offs and landings, but on cruise flight is unnecessary and also counterproductive. It seems that the chaotic behavior on the boundary layer of an airfoil is responsible of the friction. In this article the beginnings to control the chaotic state of the boundary layer are proposed; in it describes the process of investigate a model, analyze it and check if its behavior is chaotic. Also includes the study of the model's response to different inputs in order to select the best variable for control and finally the design of a fuzzy controller to manipulate the model to a non-chaotic state.
