Separation control experiments on a rectangular wing were carried out using dielectric barrier discharge plasma at subsonic speed for chord Reynolds numbers between 0,35 and 1·106 . Surface pressure measurements and flow visualization show that global flow separation on the wing can be mitigated or eliminated with the plasma actuators. The data were obtained for a wide range of angle of attack, flow speed, plasma excitation frequency and power. Various means of discharge influence on separated flow were investigated, including acoustic one.
