Development of a Sensor for Inflight Detection of Three-Dimensional Flow Separation on a Wing

A real need exists for a sensor capable of detecting flow-field separation on an airplane wing during routine flight operations. A sensor of this type could lead to both improved flight safety and increased performance. It would also contribute to future separation control technologies. A new idea i...
