The paper deals with the investigation of active aero-fluidic load control for wings. For load control, it is required to adjust the aerodynamic characteristics over a wide range of angles of attack. This can be achieved by adjusting the circulation of the airfoil by introducing synthetic jets with the exit normal to the surface at a location near the trailing edge. The wing investigated numerically and experimentally is an unswept, two-dimensional wing with a NACA0018 section with spanwise slits at x/c = 0.88. Different turbulator tapes have been employed in order to remove the laminar separation bubble which appears for the Reynolds number considered in the present study (Re = 88,000 − 550,000). The resulting measured pressure distributions have been interpreted with the help of results from XFOIL. In general, the results have shown a satisfactory agreement. A parametric study with flow control by synthetic jets has been carried out for α = 0 and for α = 8 deg., for which at Re = 165,000 cl/cd is maximal. The study has been performed in the low-frequency regime, i.e. the dimensionless frequency F + = O(1). The effectiveness of flow control is investigated for different frequencies and outflow velocities. For the current configuration, the most distinct effect is at low actuation frequency and at high jet strength. The effectiveness of the synthetic jet actuation is observed in a wide range of angles of attack with a minimum drag penalty. Measured Cp distributions have been compared with numerically simulated Cp distributions. The numerical simulation reveals details of the actuation in modifying the trailing edge flow giving insight in the induced effect by synthetic jets. Overall, the jet effectiveness is a function the jet strength, actuation frequency and the angle of attack
