Active aeroelastic control is a recently emerging technology aimed at providing solutions to a large class of problems involving the aeronautical/aerospace flight vehicle structures that are prone to instability and catastrophic failures, and to oscillations that can yield structural failure by fatigue. In order to prevent such damaging phenomena to occur, the linear/nonlinear aeroelastic control technology should be applied. Its goals are among others: (i) to alleviate and even suppress the vibrations appearing in the subcritical flight speed range, (ii) to enlarge the flight envelope by increasing the flutter speed, and (iii) to enhance the post-flutter behavior by converting the unstable limit cycle oscillation to a stable one. A short review of the available control techniques and capabilities is presented first. Attention is focused on the open/closed-loop of 2D and 3D lifting surfaces as well as on panels exposed to supersonic flowfields. A number of concepts involving various control methodologies, such as proportional, velocity, linear quadratic regulator, modified bang-bang, sliding mode observer, time-delay control, fuzzy, etc., as well as results obtained with such controls are presented. Emphasis is placed on theoretical and numerical results obtained with the various control strategies that are considered in a comparative way. Finally, conclusions and directions for further work are presented.
