Abstract
Concepts and technologies described herein provide for the creation of a high speed actuating fluid flow utilizing one or more pulse detonation actuators. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, an actuating flow trigger is detected with respect to a high speed airflow over an aerodynamic surface. In response, a pulse detonation actuator is activated and a resulting high speed actuating flow is directed into the high speed airflow to alter at least one attribute of the high speed airflow.
