The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded the contract to BAE Systems to designq a full scale demonstrator concept with Active Flow Control at its core. The aircraft’s ability to maneuver in flight without conventional flight control surfaces will enable improved performance, maintainability, and survivability.
