Information technology. Sensor networks. Guidelines for design in the aeronautics industry: active air-flow control
This document describes the concepts, issues, objectives, and requirements for the design of an *active air-flow control (AFC) system* for commercial aircraft based on a dense deployment of wired/wireless sensor and actuator networks.
The objective of this AFC system is to track gradients of pressure across the surface of the fuselage of aircraft. This collected information will be used to activate a set of actuators that will attempt to reduce the skin drag effect produced by the separation between laminar and turbulent flows.
This will be translated into increased lift-off forces, higher vehicle speeds, longer ranges, and reduced fuel consumption.
The document focuses on the:
This document aims to serve as a guideline on how to design wireless sensor and actuator networks compliant with ISO/IEC 29182.
