Latest Patents
Wilson's latest patents include the "Airfoil Trailing Edge Plasma Flow Control Apparatus and Method." This invention focuses on a flow control system that is especially well adapted for use on a Coanda surface. In one embodiment, a plurality of plasma actuators are strategically placed over the Coanda surface of an aircraft wing. These actuators can be selectively energized to either delay the onset of boundary layer flow separation or promote flow separation. This system is applicable to various aerodynamic surfaces where control over boundary layer flow is essential.
Another notable patent is the "Air Induction Control." This invention provides air induction control systems and methods for aircraft. It describes an aircraft that includes a fuselage, a pair of wings, and an engine. The aircraft features an inlet that defines an aperture to receive air for delivery to the engine. The design incorporates dielectric barrier discharge generators that apply forces to the air before it reaches the engine, enhancing performance and efficiency.
