It is shown that the integration of active controls into advanced commercial transport designs yields increased efficiency (by as much as 12%), reduced fuel consumption, and improved safety. These conclusions are based on a NASA development program considering various design configurations, wind tunnel tests (e.g., tests of static and dynamic control effects, aerodynamic loads, flutter tests, and active flutter suppression system tests), and extensive flight testing.
