Active Flutter Control in Aeroelastic Wing Section

This project involved modeling and controlling flutter instability in an aircraft wing section using a 2 DOF Lagrangian formulation. A proportional-integral (PI) compensator was designed to suppress flutter oscillations by commanding aileron deflections in a closed-loop feedback system Key Achievements: • Developed a state-space model of aeroelastic wing behavior using energy-based Lagrangian methods and unsteady aerodynamic theory • Derived system transfer functions and designed a PI controller: C(s) = 10 + 100/s • Settling time for pitch disturbances reached within 0.5s Skills: MATLAB, PI Control, Aeroelasticity
