The aim of the Symposium was to determine the current 'State of the Art' in aerodynamic controls with respect to the rapidly expanding flight envelopes of aircraft, applications of active control technology (ACT), and development of control-configured vehicles (CCV). A further goal was to direct attention to the major problem areas for future research. Twenty-nine papers were presented in five categories: (1) General Aspects, (2) Novel Controls, (3) Direct Force Controls, (4) Dynamic Effects, and (5) Interference Effects. Several of the papers were invited to survey conventional and novel methods of control, prediction methods, experimental data from wind tunnel and flight, and flight experience with ACT and CCV.
