Circulation control wing

A circulation control wing is a special kind of wing that is used on airplanes. It helps the airplane generate more lift and reduce drag. It works by controlling the airflow over the top of the wing. It has flaps that can be opened and closed to create a swirling flow of air around the wing. This swirling air helps to create lift more efficiently, making the plane able to fly faster and higher.
