Abstract
An apparatus for supplying a gas flow over an aerodynamic structure is provided. The apparatus includes a fluid source for supplying the gas flow and a flow control actuator configured to receive the gas flow from the fluid source. The flow control actuator is also configured to selectively direct the gas flow over the aerodynamic structure when the flow control actuator is in at least one predetermined operating position and to restrict the gas flow over the aerodynamic structure when the flow control actuator is in another of the predetermined operating positions.
