This final report presents the work and results of a research project Passive Gust Alleviation for a Flying Wing Aircraft funded by EOARD/US AFRL (Contract FA8655-11-1-8073) from 26 Aug. 2011 to 24 Nov. 2012. In the project, an investigation was made into the technology potential of a passive gust alleviation device (PGAD) and its application to a Sensorcraft of high aspect ratio in flying wing configuration. It is aimed at minimizing the gust response of the aircraft by using the PGAD integrated at the wing tip. The project has been carried out in four stages: the loading analysis including aerodynamic calculation and mass estimation, structural design and modeling, gust response analysis and optimal design of the PGAD for minimum gust response.
