This paper describes the design of an active flow control (AFC) system for aeronautics
applications based on dense wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). The objective
of this AFC system is to track gradients of pressure (or wall shear stress) across the surface
of the fuselage of commercial aircraft. This collected information is used to activate a set of
actuators that will attempt to reduce the skin drag effect produced by the separation between
laminar and turbulent flows. This is expected to be translated into increased lift-off forces …
