Abstract
Aeroelasticity is a broad term that describes the often complex interactions between aerodynamics and structural mechanics. The active control of aeroelastic phenomena is of particular research interest as it can lead to a reduction in weight and an increase in performance of an airframe. For more background on the analysis and control of aeroelastic systems, the reader is referred to the article by Mukhopadhyay [1]. A two degree-of-freedom wing section that is allowed to pitch and plunge due to supporting translational and torsional springs has often been used as a testbed for novel aeroelastic control methodologies. Two such apparatus are commonly used for the experimental validation of these methodologies; the Benchmark Active Control Technologies (BACT) wing [1, 2], and the Nonlinear Aeroelastic Test Apparatus (NATA) [3, 4]. This work focusses on the NATA platform, and presents an improved dynamic model along with a dynamic-less state-feedback Linear Parameter Vary-
