Abstract
A system and method for controlling boundary layer flow over an aircraft wing are provided. The system includes at least one wing element, and a plurality of ports defined in the wing element and in fluid communication with one another. The system also includes at least one fluidic device operable to continuously ingest the fluid through at least one of the ports and eject the fluid out of at least one other port to control boundary layer flow of the fluid over the wing element.
