A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Tilt-Rotor Gust Alleviation SystemsThe alleviation of the effects of gusts on tilt rotor aircraft by means of active control systems was investigated. The gust generator, the derivation of the equations of motion of the rotor wing combination, the correlation of these equations with the results of wind tunnel model tests, the use of the equations to design various gust alleviating active control systems, and the testing and evaluation of these control systems by means of wind tunnel model tests were developed.
