Line 18: ===== Noise reduction ===== The use of a CCW system eliminates the need for large complex components in the free stream such as [[Flap (aircraft)\|flaps]] and [[Leading edge slats\|slats]], greatly reducing the [[noise pollution]] of modern aircraft.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://pdf.aiaa.org/preview/CDReadyMFLC06_1187/PV2006_3011.pdf \|title=Large Eddy Simulation of a Circulation Control Airfoil. \|accessdate=2007-12-18 \|last=Slomski \|first=J.F. \|coauthors= \|date=2006-06-05\|format=PDF}}</ref> Additionally, a much shorter ground roll coupled with steeper climb outs and approaches reduces the ground noise footprint. The blowing slots themselves will contribute very little to the noise of the aircraft as each slot is just a fraction of an inch wide.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.airspacemag.com/issues/2007/april-may/custer_channel_wing.php?page=2\|title=Circulation Control Technology\|accessdate=2007-12-15}}</ref> == Powering the wing ==
