    Abstract

    The control of turbofan intake duct flow separation and the subsequent control of compressor face distortion have the potential to achieve a relaxation of the maximum crosswind constraint at take off. Wind tunnel tests have been conducted using a 10% axis-symmetric scale model. Air jets, simulating micro-electrical mechanical actuators, have been implemented at the intake lip to reenergize the boundary layer locally. Improvements in distortion of up to 40% could be achieved at a 10% engine bleed. © 2004 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights recived.
