The miniature flow-control devices generate streams or sheets of high-velocity directed air that improve the high-lift aerodynamics of wings.

DARPA has awarded Aurora Flight Sciences a phase 2 contract for its CRANE (Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors) program, following wind tunnel testing of a small-scale X-plane ...

The idea behind active flow control is to use nozzles on the aircraft to blast jets of air that dynamically manipulate the pressure of the boundary air flowing around the plane, allowing the craft ...

The air flow sensor is located directly in the intake air stream, between the air cleaner and throttle body where it can measure incoming air. (hot wire automotive mass air flow sensor) Primary ...

Electronic fuel injection was a big leap forward for engine control. However, early implementations often left something to be desired. This was the case for [Rob] and his Porsche 944, which had ...

The device's desuperheating chamber modulates the air conditioning system's capacity by varying refrigerant flow according to suction pressure, which changes with the temperature of air crossing the ...

Used in general ventilation and air-conditioning systems, air-control devices include louvers, dampers, gravity ventilators, round spiral duct, and transverse duct connections.
