    The document discusses the BAE Systems Demon, an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle developed by BAE Systems to test a novel flight control system without conventional flight control surfaces like flaps or ailerons. It used fluidic flight control that directed air over surfaces to control pitch and roll. The Demon conducted its first flight without conventional flight control surfaces in 2010 and helped test technologies like modular aircraft design and low-cost manufacturing methods.

    The Demon is an data-based unmanned aerial fomite ( UAV ) developed and manufactured
    by British denial conglomerate BAE Systems .It has been referred to as being the world 's
    first `` flapless '' aircraft.The ogre was developed as a demonstrator for the flapless zephyr
    vehicle integrated industrial research ( FLAVIIR ) programme .Developed from the
    established BAE Systems Eclipse UAV , it was used to trial an improper aircraft escape
    ascendancy system over the course of two years .Various other technology were also
    experimented with , including modular and cost-reduction proficiency .On 17 Sep 2010 , the
    daemon conducted its first flight without using any conventional trajectory dominance
    Earth's surface .It has been speculated that the technology has potential drop coating in
    both civilian and military air power .== Development == During the too soon 21st century ,
    British defense lawyers conglomerate BAE Systems initiated a five-year enquiry programme
    known as flapless gentle wind vehicle integrated industrial inquiry ( FLAVIIR ) .This cause
    had a declared budget of £6.5 million , which was financed by both BAE Systems and the
    United Kingdom 's technology and Physical science Research Council .It had the aim of
    developing and testing a new streamlined circulation-based aircraft flight ascendence
    system , manipulating airflow via non-traditional means ; unlike most prior feat , it sought
    to fetch applied science together to shape a functional system rather than prepare stray
    component .Participants in the syllabus included various British aeronautics companies ,
    specialists , and academic initiation included Cranfield University and nine early British
    universities.During August 2007 , an American patent was filed for elements of this new
    control condition organisation concept ; it was granted during July 2011 .As maturation
    proceeded , it was decided to acquire an experimental unmanned gentle wind vehicle to
    demonstrate manoeuvring without the aid of conventional flight ascendance surfaces .The
    conventional BAE arrangement Eclipse was selected as the basis for the
    demonstrator .Ahead of the flight test programme , it was subjected to several ground-
    based tests , including the use of wind tunnels and scale models.The Demon participated in
    a two-year presentment programme , during which the team studied the UAV 's
    performance throughout its flight envelope .On 17 September 2010 , the daemon performed
    its kickoff flight in which all of its formal control surfaces were deactivated during a portion
    of the flight off the coast of Cumbria , having flown out of Barrow/Walney Island
    Airport .Richard William Carlos Williams , BAE 's course of study director for future
    capability , stated of the function : `` I feel sure I have witnessed a substantial mo in aviation
    history '' .In previous 2010 , BAE system of rules stated that the ogre shall not be followed
    up by a conduct production aircraft , but its technology would be filtered through to other
    platforms instead .Aerospace periodical flight of steps International speculated that this
    unique circulation ascendance system could one Clarence Day live employed in civilian
    airmanship to thin the size of the wing on widebody airliners .Its developers have stated
    their hopes that the new technology could make up used to abridge stochasticity , cut fuel
    consumption , and lower maintenance costs .In full term of military machine applications ,
    the technology might enable future combat aircraft to achieve greater levels of stealth than
    conventionally equipped twin .== intention == The BAE Systems monster is an experimental
    remote-controlled aerial vehicle ( UAV ) .In condition of its staple configuration , it is a
    combine wing-body aircraft , possessing an approximate wingspan of 8-foot ( 2.5m ) and a
    weight of 200 lb ( 90 kg ) .In flight , it could attain a maximum pep pill of 150 kn .It was
    outfitted with a conventional flap-based escape ascendance system which can cost switched
    on and off during flight , allowing the aircraft to alternate between its experimental and
    established control system.The daimon was built to flying test a novel flowing dominance
    system .This system uses a combination of engine exhaust fumes gas , which is redirected
    using a driving force vectoring nose , and bleed air , which is precisely controlled to provide
    dominance over the same flowing military unit that would be traditionally provided by
    numerous escape control control surface , including flaps , ailerons and elevators .Termed
    fluidic flight of steps command , the arrangement used on the Demon reportedly functions
    by directing air from a rectangular exhaust nozzle over upper and lower Earth's surface ,
    using the Coandă effect to make control over pitch .For roll ascendence , bleed air is blown
    over a Coanda aerofoil installed on the trailing edge of the wing .By controlling limit layer
    conditions , the fluidic controls can also generate either greater lift or drag during the take-
    off and landing form of flight.Beyond the novel flight control arrangement , the devil was
    used to trial various other technology , such as the fabrication and assembly of a fully
    bonded structure .This body structure possessed low cost material reinforcing features ,
    which reportedly achieved roughly 50 % cost delivery over the usage of conventional
    manufacture processes .A key goal of the demonstrator was to trial gimcrack , more
    modular UAV technology , exploring aim have been generated through cross-disciplinary
    interaction .
