This paper discusses the use of so called Zero Net Mass Flux (ZNMF) actuators for active flow control on the Next Generation Civil Tilt Rotor Technical Demonstrator (NGCTR-TD) aircraft.rnThe Next Generation Civil Tilt Rotor (NGCTR-TD) is a a novel concept thatrncombines the benefits of a helicopter with the speed and therncapabilities of a fixed wing aircraft. rnThe European Funded CleanSky2 project AFC4TR will investigate the use of ZNMF devicesrnto increase the aerodynamic efficiency. In the first phase of ther
