This paper presents a review of circulation control technology, its history, status and areas for further research and development. A brief description of the basic performance characteristics of circulation control airfoils are presented together with a more detailed discussion of some of the more important aerodynamic parameters dependencies. The unique capability of the airfoils to develop high lift coefficients independent of incidence over a range of operating conditions is demonstrated. Consideration is also given to the various stall conditions that have been experimentally observed and to the various theoretical formulations that have been attempted to explain these phenomena.
