Flight, hover and maneuvering of many insects and small birds could not be explained considering steady aerodynamic principles. Recent research efforts found that a leading edge vortex (LEV), growing over their wings in flapping flight, enables unrivaled flight performance at low speeds.

Modern propulsion concepts of micro air vehicles (MAVs) try to mimic biological flight in an attempt to adapt beneficial lift and manouvering effects of the LEV. In the current project, beneficial LEV effects are sougth to be exploited further by prolonging its growth phase on an airfoil with the aid of flow control by a plasma actuator.

Experimental results indicate, that the LEV detachment can be delayed significantly with the aid of the plasma induced ionic wind.
