A study of conceptual integration and performance aspects of localized active flow control (AFC) technology onto wings of short-to-medium-range project passenger airplanes is summarized. Using predicted aerodynamic performance improvement opportunities on the CFD Reference Aircraft, estimated benefit opportunities for conceptual implementation of studied wing localized active flow control (AFC) technology for low-speed (take-off and landing) application on a Performance Reference Aircraft configuration are presented. Using conceptual AFC systems and structural integration weight penalties for studied concepts, potential relevant net performance benefits can be obtained with reliable AFC in takeoff and landing. The conceptual integration study identifies potential promising localized wing AFC application opportunities for high-lift conditions using energy sources for modern aircraft. Material benefits are estimated for take-off and landing configurations for selected localized AFC applications. Next steps to refine and expand results of investigated topics, as well as possible other local AFC wing applications, are suggested.
