Eigenspace (ES) and Linear Quadratic (LQ) techniques are used to design an active flutter suppression system for the DAST ARW-2 flight test vehicle. The performance of the ES and LQ controllers are very similar in meeting control surface activity specifications. The ES controller provides reduced wing root bending moment and shear but torsional stress is slightly higher than with the LQ controller. The ES controller also results in improved flutter boundaries compared with the LQ controller. The LQ controller exhibits significantly 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.
