Systems, methods, and devices are provided that provide hybrid flow control for a simple hinged flap high-lift system using sweeping jet (SWJ) actuators for active flow control (AFC) and adaptive vortex generators (AVGs) that may be actuated by flap deflection for passive flow control (PFC). The various embodiments may significantly reduce mass flow, differential pressure, and power requirements for equivalent flow control performance when compared to using AFC only. The various embodiments may reduce the power requirement of AFC, while still maintaining the aerodynamic performance enhancement necessary for high-lift applications using a simple hinged flap. The various embodiments may provide the necessary lift enhancement for a simple hinged flap high-lift system, while keeping the pneumatic power requirement (mass flow and pressure) for the AFC within an aircraft's capability for system integration.
