Abstract:
An apparatus and system provide drag reduction and energy efficiency for a transport vehicle. Cover sections of transport vehicles are formed to include solar panels comprising photovoltaic cells and dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator arrays. The vehicle cover al so generates electricity to charge onboard battery racks. The cover sections are integral with and shaped to conform with areas such as a trunk lid or roof. Fiber Bragg grating sensors are placed to detect formation of a separation layer. Plasma actuator arrays are actuated either to inhibit formation of the separation layer or to create span-wise waves to reduce skin drag.

Claim (Index 12):
The system according to  claim 11  wherein the flow sensor comprises a symmetrical airfoil at the reference position and positioned at the sensor height and a fiber Bragg grating sensor attached to an interior surface of a cantilever beam, the cantilever beam having a tip mounted to respond to flow at a trailing edge of said symmetrical airfoil such that flexing of said cantilever beam substantially ceases in response to flow separation at the trailing surface.
