Abstract: Disclosed is a boundary layer control apparatus, and method, for controlling and adjusting the boundary layer of a fluid flowing over a surface. The apparatus and method operate by using ionic wind to propel the fluid within the boundary layer in a specified direction thereby either increasing or decreasing the boundary layer thickness.

Abstract: A bypass air valve is provided which includes a liner, a strap, apparatus for biasing the strap into contact with the liner, a selective actuator, and apparatus for passage of bypass air. To open and close the valve, the selective actuator unwraps a segment of the strap from the liner before the strap is translated a distance around the circumference of the liner. The biasing apparatus biases the strap back into contact with the liner.
