1. A system for active flow control, comprising:
one or more flow control devices configured to control flow between a fluid source and a plurality of fluid destinations, wherein the plurality of fluid destinations includes:
an actuation system connected downstream of the fluid source by a first one of the one or more flow control devices;
a combustor of an engine connected downstream of the fluid source by a second one of the one or more flow control devices; and
a bypass return flow system connected downstream of the fluid source by a third one of the one or more flow control devices; and

a control module configured to control a flow area of each of the one or more flow control devices with fluid provided from the fluid source flowing to the actuation system through the first one of the one or more flow control devices, to the combustor through the second one of the one or more flow control devices, and to the bypass return flow system through the third one of the one or more flow control devices.
