DARPA 's new X-plane concept will remove these moving external control surfaces to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase fuel efficiency, contradicting a century of standard aviation design practices.

CBFC uses two cyclic counters to track the credits consumed and freed at sender and receiver, respectively.

The X-65 is being designed around a concept called “active flow control” (AFC), which eliminates use of traditional moving control surfaces to manoeuvre an aircraft.
