Deflected Slip Stream Wing System with Coflow Jet Flow Control

A deflected slip stream wing system with coflow jet flow control for an aircraft comprising:

• a wingbox having a root and a tip;
• a flap moveably attached to the wingbox and having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening, a suction opening, a channel, and a bottom surface, the injection opening disposed between the leading edge and the suction opening, the suction opening disposed between the injection opening and the trailing edge, the channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, the bottom surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge;
• a compressor disposed within the channel and having an on state and an off state;
• a suction duct attached to the compressor;
• an injection duct attached to the compressor;
• and
• a propulsor disposed on the wingbox between the root and the tip, the propulsor having an off state and an on state, when in the on state the propulsor aligned relative to the flap such that fluid accelerated by the propulsor contacts the bottom surface of the flap;
• wherein when the compressor is in the on state fluid enters the suction opening, enters the suction duct, is compressed by the compressor, enters the injection duct, and exits the injection opening substantially tangential to the flap.

• a flap moveably attached to the wingbox and having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening, a suction opening, a channel, and a bottom surface, the flap moveable relative to the wingbox between a first position and a second position, the flap disposed at a first angle relative to the wingbox in the first position and disposed at a second angle relative to the wingbox in the second position, the second angle being greater than the first angle by more than 70 degrees, the injection opening disposed between the leading edge and the suction opening, the suction opening disposed between the injection opening and the trailing edge, the channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, the bottom surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge;
• a compressor disposed within the channel and having an on state and an off state;
• a suction duct attached to the compressor;
• an injection duct attached to the compressor;
• and
• a plurality of propulsors disposed on the wingbox between the root and the tip, each propulsor of the plurality of propulsors having an off state and an on state, when in the on state each propulsor of the plurality of propulsors aligned relative to the flap such that fluid accelerated by each propulsor of the plurality of propulsors contacts the bottom surface of the flap;
• wherein when the compressor is in the on state, fluid enters the suction opening, enters the suction duct, is compressed by the compressor, enters the injection duct, and exits the injection opening substantially tangential to the flap.
