  • Panels comprising uneven edge patterns for reducing boundary layer separation
    Patent number: 10421533
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an airfoil includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The airfoil also includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The airfoil includes a continuous panel coupled to the first side of the airfoil. The continuous panel includes a first edge having a first uneven edge pattern. The first edge has at least four vertices disposed thereon. The continuous panel extends from the first end of the airfoil to a second end of the airfoil.

  • Active bleed for airfoils
    Patent number: 9512821
    Abstract: 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).
