An airfoil active bleed system and related method. A housing includes an induction wall, an exhaust wall having one or more exhaust ports, and a chamber between the induction and exhaust walls. Zero-net-mass-flux actuators are located in the chamber and configured and positioned to collectively induct fluid through the induction wall and selectively exhaust fluid through the exhaust port(s).
