Active Wing
Small wind ducts in wing create lift instead of flaps | |
Air is actively directed in and out of the wing over all of its
surface.
To do so small controllable ducts are available throughout the
wing with either many small air pumps or many small fans, or
with a system of suction/blow pipes from a central air pump.
Can perhaps allow even for (slow
but steady) short takeoff
and landing or even vertical takeoff and landing.

Coander effect ? WKTE .... |
|
| |
Coanda. No, this is using direct lift from inside the wing and
out of it from ducts. |

Yup, blown flaps. F104 had them. TSR2 had them.
The most extreme example is probably the
Blackburn Buccaneer <link> which had a blown
wing, blown flaps and interestingly a blown
horizontal stabilizer. In the 60s this was popular,
there are disadvantages. You have to keep all the
ducts clean, and if your (only, in the case of the
F104) engine dies, a bunch of lift goes with it. No
fun. After that they got interested in variable
geometry. That turned out to be a maintenance
nightmare too, so no-one really does that anymore.
Instead engines got better, a few other tricks
emerged, leading edge extensions, making the
fuselage a lifting unit, some canards here
composites there, no more blown lifting surfaces |

Would a whole lot of tiny arcs between an array of terminals embedded in the wing do the same thing? The only problem being, the need for a, yet to be discovered, capable charge generator. |

[bs 0u0 155] I looked in the Buccaneer link and all my "duct"
search comes up with are: Introduction, production,
conduct, and reduction. |
