Research into vortex flow manipulation by unsteady leading-edge blowing and flap oscillation on a generic 65° swept delta wing is the focus of the present work. By inducing unsteady disturbances close to the separation line the vortex structure is changed, enhancing the aircraft’s performance especially in the post-stall regime.
