Abstract :
The objectives of this research at the Royal Aerospace Establishment, Farnborough, were the improvement of aeroelastic modelling techniques, the development of design methods for active control technology (ACT), and the assessment of the impact of ACT on aircraft structures. Related experimental have included the measurements of aircraft responses in flight on VC10 and tornado aircraft, and experiments to demonstrate the implementation of control system on wind tunnel models
