When the Wright Brothers designed the original Flyer, a critical element to their success laid in the refinement of the flight controls they used—wing warping—to guide the craft through the air.
DARPA Announces Active Flow Control “Proposers Day”
Key Takeaways:
- DARPA's CRANE program seeks proposals for a novel aircraft primarily designed around Active Flow Control (AFC) technologies.
- The program's core aim is to eliminate traditional moving control surfaces, relying on AFC for stability, control, and enhanced flight performance.
- This initiative marks a significant evolution in flight control, building on past aerospace advancements and current successes in flow control technology.
