EB28 Electronic Turbulators
And if they quit on final? Shades of Gus Raspet.

The EB28 has the usual blow-holes on the underside
of the wings that control
the boundary layer separation. The airflow to these
holes is controlled by
electrically operated valves that open or close in
response to the glider's
airspeed. This is supposed to optimise the turbulating
effect of the holes
in accordance with the glider's airspeed.

I've just read this months offering of Sailplane and
Gliding. there is an
article on the new EB28 and in the article they reference
having had
electronic turbulators fitted. Could someone explain
what these are
please.
Thanks,
Phil
