A controllable trailing-edge protuberance adjusts separated flow to manage lift under turbulence while reducing fatigue, cost, and control complexity.
A rotating cylinder on an airfoil uses the Magnus effect to boost lift or drag without flap-driven shape changes or added mechanical wear.
Retractable conductors create ionized airflow at wing tips, improving boundary-layer adherence at high angles of attack.
Integrated pivoting cover and walkway surface eliminate external ladders, reducing slip risks during maintenance on wet ship decks.
A shrouded duct generates sideward thrust to counteract main rotor torque in forward flight.
Segmented control surfaces manage flight path and compensate for reactive forces in harsh environments.
