Abstract

Systems and methods for enhancing operations of an aircraft (100) may include a plasma generator, (102), a sensor (104) and a controller (106). The plasma generator (102) may be positioned on an exterior of the aircraft (100) such that it can provide localized heating thereon. The sensor (104) may be configured to sense and transmit information regarding a transonic flight condition such as speed to the controller (106). The controller (106) may be configured to activate the plasma generator (102) in response to information from the sensor (104) so as to mitigate a transonic shock wave through localized heating.
