The AFRODITE project focuses on reducing aerodynamic drag in aircraft by maintaining laminar flow over airfoils. By utilizing passive flow control techniques, it aims to prevent turbulence transition and control flow separation, potentially reducing harmful emissions from aviation significantly.
A hot topic in today's debate on global warming is drag reduction in aeronautics.
The most beneficial concept for drag reduction is to maintain the major portion of the airfoil laminar.
Estimations show that the potential drag reduction can be as much as 15%, which would give a significant reduction of NOx and CO emissions in the atmosphere considering that the number of aircraft take offs, only in the EU, is over 19 million per year.
An important element for successful flow control, which can l…
