Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the development of a flutter suppression actuator technique and the wind tunnel evaluation of that technique. The report also describes the flightworthiness testing of a direct drive Fly-By-Wire flight control system applied to the aileron axis of an F-4 aircraft. Also included is an evaluation of an angular rate sensing augmentation actuator supplied to the Air Force for evaluation. Presented in the material are the test results of all three experimental evaluations. Further testing of the flutter suppression is recommended to clarify an anomoly in the results of the testing. The direct drive control system passed its environmental testing used to establish flight worthiness. The rate sensing actuator operated as designed.
