The possibilities of camber control are underscored by the relatively recent introduction of fly-by-wire technology in modem transport aircraft. To date, however, the issue of the algorithm for in-flight adaptive camber optimization has not been properly addressed. As such, the development of a robust and efficient algorithm to adjust, in flight, the aircraft control surfaces configuration is in order. This paper explores the applicability a periodic perturbation optimizing technique to this problem. The method is based on a direct measurement of the performance and, as such, it also includes the engines' contributions to the overall performance optimization. The actual performance improvement comes, thus, from the integrated effects of airframe and engine. The algorithm is demonstrated on a B720 flight simulator at NASA/Dryden Simulation Laboratory.
