=== Increased maneuverability ===
At low speeds, an aircraft has reduced airflow over the [[wing]] and [[vertical stabilizer]]. This causes the [[Flight control surfaces|control surfaces]] ([[ailerons]], [[elevator (aircraft)|elevator]]s and [[rudder]]) to be less effective. The CCW system increases the airflow over these surfaces and consequently can allow much higher maneuverability at low speeds.<ref name="Circulation Control Technology">{{cite web |author=Wright, Tim |url=http://www.airspacemag.com/issues/2007/april-may/custer_channel_wing.php?page=2|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716165638/http://www.airspacemag.com/issues/2007/april-may/custer_channel_wing.php?page=2|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-16 |title=That Extra Little Lift |accessdate=2024-07-27 |publisher=[[Air & Space]] magazine}}</ref> However, if one of the CCW systems should fail at low speed, the affected wing is likely to [[stall (flight)|stall]] which could result in an inescapable [[spin (flight)|spin]]. Finally, the CCW system could be used on multi-engine aircraft in the result of an engine failure to cancel the
