Acheon Project: A Novel Vectoring Jet Concept

Abstract

This paper presents a general overview of the ACHEON Project (EU FP7 Level 0 - Transport including Aeronautic). This project presents a novel dynamically controllable Coanda jet using two fluid streams to produce the angular deflection of the jet as a function of their momentum. A control system with electrostatic plasma is used to produce an effective and more precise control of the system. This paper presents the general guidelines of the project which is going to start and presents expected results.
