This new approach consists in heating the surface in an unsteady regime using electrically resistant strips embedded in the wing skin. The control of the boundary layer＇s separation and transition point will provide a reduction in friction drag, and hence a reduction in fuel consumption. This new method consists in applying the required thermal power in the different strips in order to ensure the desired temperatures on the aircraft wing. We also have to determine the optimum size of these strips （length, width and distance between two strips）. This implies finding the best mathematical model corresponding to the physics enabling us to facilitate the calculation for any type of material used for the wings. Secondly, the heating being unsteady, and, as during a flight the flow conditions or the ambient temperatures vary, the thermal power needed changes and must be chosen as fast as possible in order to ensure optimal operating conditions.展开更多
