The paper gives a brief overview about the challenges and the concepts for future aeroengine applications based on microjets. Technical requirement and difficulties of the potential applications of Active Flow Control (AFC) in turbomachines are discussed. The importance of an active stabilized turbocompressor for an efficiency increase is described. Future concepts of advanced turbocompressors with the application of active and passive flow control, partially based on MEMS devices are briefly sketched. Finally, the numerical methods necessary to unveil the physical background of AFC are presented.
