Abstract
The tailless flying wing configuration represents a typical aerodynamic layout for next-generation aircraft. Rudderless flight control technology can significantly enhance the high-stealth performance and payload capability of flying wing aircraft, making it a disruptive technology that has gained widespread attention and is being gradually applied in advanced air vehicles. The implementation of this technology holds considerable strategic value and engineering significance. This review summarizes recent advances and flight verifications in three core active flow control technologies involved in rudderless flight control of flying wing aircraft: circulation control, flow separation control, and separation induction control. The current technology status and challenges are discussed, and an outlook on future development trends is provided.
期刊介绍：
Experiments in Fluids examines the advancement, extension, and improvement of new techniques of flow measurement. The journal also publishes contributions that employ existing experimental techniques to gain an understanding of the underlying flow physics in the areas of turbulence, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, convective heat transfer, combustion, turbomachinery, multi-phase flows, and chemical, biological and geological flows. In addition, readers will find papers that report on investigations combining experimental and analytical/numerical approaches.
