Abstract
Flow control systems having movable slotted plates are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a flow control plate to be placed proximate an opening of an aerodynamic body. The opening has a first slot and the flow control plate has a second slot angled relative to the opening. The apparatus also includes an actuator to move the flow control plate relative to the opening in a linear oscillatory motion to vary a flow of fluid exiting the opening over the aerodynamic body. The flow of fluid is to flow from the second slot to the first slot.
