| Description | This one-year project (a collaboration with Airbus UK) successfully demonstrated the physical application of wireless communications technology in a flow-control context. A wind-tunnel demonstrator was constructed demonstrating flap-induced separation, triggered and sensed wirelessly. |
| Exploitation Route | The relevance of the project to the aerospace industry is in the potential for using wireless communications technology to replace weighty, and thus costly, wired control. |
