The controlled propulsive wing is a cambered or thin almost flat wing with slits or slots or holes at its surface connected from the inside of the wing to the exhaust end of the thrust type propulsive plant like turbofan and rockets, of the aircraft or aerospace vehicle by means of ducts. The exhaust air or other gases of the propulsion plant are discharged through the slots or slits or holes placed at an appropriate distance from the trailing edge and thus control the boundary layer while at the same time increase the circulation, propel the aircraft or aerospace vehicle and even take the place of the wing's wake. In addition this configuration may be used by controlling the rate of the discharged exhaust air or other gases of the propulsive plant and thus thrust and circulation to provide a totally active flight control, to make ailerons and rudder unnecessary. A similar system may be applied to a canard or foreplane, for pitch control. <IMAGE>
