The Use of Active Flow Control on Combined Tilt Rotor & Tilt Wing Airplanes
This technology is a method to eliminate moving control surfaces on the wing, prop, tail and other surfaces of a tilt wing airplane. It accomplishes this by utilizing active flow control measures. The end result is a combination of tilted wing with active flow controls designed to reduce the power demand of the tilt rotor wing aircraft. Reduced power...

The Use of Active Flow Control to Increase the Acceleration of Airplanes on Takeoff and Reduce the Dependence on Rotation
The technology is the utilization of active flow control (AFC) technology in the leading edge to improve the process of airplane takeoff. It will allow for airplanes to perform a take off without rotating. The AFC technology would allow for the airplane to take off with minimal rotation. The small rotation allows the ability to use smaller landing gear...

All-Fiber Multicore Fiber Laser Devices
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a compact, power-scalable, alignment-free fiber laser that takes a new approach to stabilizing phase-locked operation of multi-core fiber lasers by completely removing all free space optical components. This high-brightness, all-fiber laser package uses passive optical fiber spliced at both ends...
