Abstract :
Results from a joint Volvo Aero and Saab Aerospace research project on active flutter suppression is presented. An LQG controller and a parametric LQ controller have been designed and evaluated on a wind tunnel model. It is seen that flutter can be avoided using active control; furthermore it is shown that parametric LQ control design techniques are well suited for design of (practical) high performance low order controllers
