**4. Conclusion**

Studies carried out in the last decades have demonstrated the possibility to use DBD aerody‐ namic actuators for active flow control purposes. In this last section, main advantages and disadvantages in the use of these plasma devices will be summarized.

Pros


#### Cons


Disadvantages already introduced will be overcome only when a more detailed knowledge of basic interactions between discharge a neutral gas will be achieved. When higher induced speeds will be available, new and more effective flow control strategies will be developed.
