A feedback active flow control (AFC) scheme is studied for control of unsteady aerodynamic loads that act on a generic tailless delta wing during transverse gust encounters. The transverse gust and the roll angle of the wing create an unsteady roll moment. The trailing edge actuators generate unbalanced lift increments on the two sides of the model to control the roll moment. Spatially distributed pressure sensors measure surface pressure on the suction side of the wing, and the real-time aerodynamic loads are estimated through models that are identified by the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics algorithm. The aerodynamic load estimation is then used as a surrogate to provide the AFC system with a feedback signal to alleviate the unsteady roll moment due to the gust effect. A physical interpretation of the model identification results is made to locate the source of the lift and roll moment fluctuations in gust encounters. Experimental results show that the AFC effect with a momentum coefficient input of 2% is equivalent to 26° elevon deflection in terms of the roll moment change, and the AFC doubles the control authority relative to elevons. The real-time control results show that the pressure feedback control system reduces the mean roll moment error and suppresses the fluctuations to less than 20% of the uncontrolled fluctuation level at a high angle of attack.
