Abstract

Abstract: In order to boost the application development of flow control technology using plasma actuator, the platform of flight testing was established and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight testing was carried out to evaluate the control effect of symmetrical plasma actuators using pressure sensors and attitude angle sensor under realistic environment. The results indicated that flow separation around one wing of UAV is suppressed by one symmetrical plasma actuator and the large roll angle of UAV is generated. These researches could lay the foundation for the application of plasma flow control technology.

Key words: plasma actuator, flow control, flow separation, UAV, flight testing
