Aerodynamic control using a rotatable, miniature nose-tip strake system was investigated in a water tunnel with a forebody model. Flow visualization and yawing moment measurements were performed. The results show that the system was highly effective in controlling the forebody vortices and producing controlled yawing moments at moderate-to-high angles of attack. In comparison with the forebody strakes used in several previous studies, the system can potentially be substantially smaller in size, simpler in operation, and effective over wide ranges of angles of attack and sideslip.
