Design and testing of an active aircraft wing spar with bending-torsion coupling

An experimental investigation on active aeroelastic aircraft structures with bending-torsion coupling properties is presented. Two techniques for vibration and flutter alleviation are studied and tested. The passive approach is based on the use of carbon composite spars with misaligned fibres. The s...
