Abstract:
An aircraft and system for minimizing the influence of unsteady flow states, wherein the wing has a respective main wing and at least one control flap adjustably arranged relative thereto, an adjusting drive for activating the at least one control flap, and a sensor arrangement for acquiring the setting position of the control flap. The system exhibits at least one arrangement of flow-influencing devices for influencing the fluid flow over the surface segment, a detection device for detecting unsteady flow states acting on the aircraft, and an actuating function connected with the flow-influencing devices to influence the flow in the different segments of a wing, designed so that the latter, based on the unsteady flow states detected by the detection device and setting position of the control flap acquired by the sensor arrangement, actuates the flow-influencing devices so as to minimize the influence of unsteady flow states on the aircraft.
