High power synthetic jet actuator
19 June 2023
High Power Synthetic Jet Actuator (SJA) based on compact piezoelectric actuators, have been developed and tested by
CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES (CTEC) and ONERA, under French National funding RAPID from DGA. This publication
presents the modelling approach with early breadboarding results, the final design chosen for integration onto an aircraft
airfoil mock-up, the performance test results on the SJA device prior integration, and the final aerodynamic performance
test demonstration achieved at ONERA wind tunnel test facility.
