26 CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK - Demonstration of separation and circulation control using steady and pulsed plasma actuation on an airfoil at typical MAV Reynolds numbers. - Modulating the actuators at frequencies corresponding to F+ 1, resulted in improvements to C L,max, which increased with reductions in Re. - At the low end of the MAV Reynolds number range (Re=20,500) modulation increased C L,max by more than a factor of 2. - Hysteresis associated with the baseline airfoil was eliminated. - C L,max was shown to increase with decreasing duty cycle, and hence power input. - In fact, duty cycles of around 3% were sufficient for effective separation control at MAV Reynolds numbers, corresponding to power inputs on the order of 0,5 W/m. - High power (up to 400 W/m) steady and pulsed plasma actuation can for instance be used to propell lighter than air flight vehicle (e.g. at high altitudes) B.
