Abstract :
This paper will address the design procedure of a modal suppression system that can control fore and aft body oscillation of an aircraft in the presence of turbulence. Power spectral density (PSD) plots will be shown comparing the performance of the airplane with the modal suppression system on and off. Substantial benefits are derived in terms of ride quality improvement when this modal suppression system is used in place of a conventional yaw damper.
