Eigenspace (ES) techniques were used to design an active flutter suppression system for the DAST ARW-2 flight test vehicle. The ES controller meets control surface activity specifications and at the flutter test condition provides reduced wing root torsion at the gust test condition, and results in improved flutter boundaries. The ES controller is compared with a controller designed using Linear Quadratic (LQ) techniques. The LQ controller exhibits better phase margins at the flutter condition than does the ES controller but the LQ design requires large feedback gains on actuator states while the ES does not. This results in reduced overall actuator gain for the LQ design.
