Design of a flutter suppression system for an experimental drone aircraft

Jerry R. Newsom, Anthony S. Pototzky, I. Abel

Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

This paper describes the design of a flutter suppression system for a remotely-piloted research vehicle. The modeling of the aeroelastic system, the methodology used to synthesize the control law, the analytical results used to evaluate the control law performance, and ground testing of the flutter suppression system onboard the aircraft are discussed. The major emphasis is on the use of optimal control techniques employed during the synthesis of the control law.
