A fluid interface device, such as an airfoil assembly, can include a device structure and at least one movable band oriented such that the band moves in a direction of fluid flow. The at least one movable band can be supported on the device structure such that an outer surface of the movable band is exposed along the device structure and is capable of movement relative thereto such that a relative velocity can be maintained between the outer surface and the device structure. The fluid interface device can also include an edge extension disposed along the leading edge of the device structure. An airplane, a wind turbine and a method are also included.

A cavity system for use on a vehicle is provided. The cavity system comprises a cavity having at least one of a front edge and a rear edge arranged orthogonally to the actual or intended direction of travel of the vehicle, and longitudinal edges. The front and/or rear and longitudinal edges define an opening. The cavity system also comprises at least one shock stabiliser protruding from a surface adjacent each longitudinal edge of the cavity into the ambient flow outside of the cavity. An aircraft comprising the cavity system is also provided.
