Abstract

Nowadays, since air pollution, noise pollution and energy efficiency have becoming more important in the field of aviation, after recalling the research on plasma actuator, we discuss the experimental results and possible modification results after the installation of plasma actuators in aircrafts. It is believed that this act can help to solve both energy consumption, noise and air pollution.

Keywords: plasma actuator, drag reduction, noise attenuation
