Technical Evaluation Report on the Flight Mechanics Panel Symposium on Stability and Control.

Abstract

This report evaluates the AGARD Flight Mechanics Panel Symposium on Stability and Control held from 25-28 September 1978 at Ottawa, Canada. The primary conclusions of the report are that the technology exists to permit application of CCV and active control concepts to operational aircraft; however, questions remain concerning the operational need and the cost effectiveness of many of the concepts that are technically feasible. The main factors impeding implementation of CCV and active control concepts are cost, reliability and maintainability.
