ACTIVE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

The use of active control technology to achieve artificial stability, ride improvement, load alleviation, flutter speed enhancement, center-of-gravity control, envelope limiting, and fatigue reduction is discussed. In addition, recent advances in adaptive control technology and signal theory which have made possible a wider application of active control technology are reviewed.
