It is necessary to develop a plasma actuator module that can be applied to various drones as well as increase the flight efficiency of the aircraft by controlling the flow of the aircraft using plasma actuator technology Aerodynamic flow control can be performed using plasma actuators to reduce fuel consumption and enhance air flow to the vehicle by plasma actuators. In particular, the aerodynamic research of airplanes over the past 20 years, which is the backbone of drones at the new center of the future aviation industry, shows that the combination of drone-plasma actuators can lead the commercial drone market's technology, which has recently emerged as a future industry.
