Control configured vehicle design and system considerations are outlined and representative applications of active control for fighter and transport aircraft are summarized. Specific examples include relaxed static stability and angle of attack limiting on the F-16, envelope limiting and ride smoothing on the F-8, maneuver load and control and relaxed static stability on the L-1011, load alleviation for the C-5, and B-1 ride control. Principal features, problem areas, and mechanization trends for these and projected future active control applications are outlined.
