What is it about?
This publication summarizes research done to create an implement a control system for regulating the flow of air in a Circulation Control wing, a method used for increasing the lift of an aircraft. It focuses on methods for accurately controlling a centrifugal compressor, as well as characterizing the energy consumption of the system.

Why is it important?
This work creates a framework for quickly and accurately controlling the mass air flow in Circulation Control applications. The characterization of energy usage allows for a user to control the system such that battery capacity can be optimized. It also creates a pathway for future work in system-level energy optimization.
