Tech Talk about Aeroflexible Surface Technology allowing on-demand airfoil reshaping and stall delaying features. It's an technological approach using instationary effects in fluid dynamics. The Aeroflexible Technology allows the airfoil to adapt on current pressure gradient conditions inside the fluid to avoid early boundary layer separation due unsuited topology of the aerodynamic body - in this case the airfoil - which would create local peaks in pressure gradients. Instead the passive regulation system finds a smooth solution outbalancing local pressure gradients and regulating reverse flows.

This tech talk talks about the research results and opportunities for future applications.
