The design of an active flutter suppression controller and wind tunnel validation test results are presented. This controller, designed using Nyquist methods and traditional root locus, is applied to the Active Flexible Wing (AFW) wind tunnel model. Wind tunnel tests were conducted to validate the design and demonstrate flutter suppression at a fixed altitude while performing aggressive rolling maneuvers representative of high-performance military aircraft. The controller succeeded in simultaneous suppression of two distinct flutter modes by significantly increasing the flutter dynamic pressure in spite of errors in the mathematical model.
