An adaptive flutter suppression system using target functions to adjust gain and phase of the control law was developed. The system was installed in a flutter model and tested successfully. The flutter speed can be increased 38%. A gust load alleviation system was developed and tested on the model. Flutter suppressor and gust load alleviation systems were combined and investigated under gusts. The wing root bending moment of the model can be decreased considerably. The model used for testing active control technology is described. It is a dynamically scaled subsonic model with hydraulically driven control surfaces. Basic geometry and mass data are given. The model instrumentation, model suspension, and wind tunnel test set up is explained.
