This work concerns the problem of gust load alleviation of a flexible aircraft by focusing on
Airbus's XRF1 aircraft concept, with a fully actuated wing. The aircraft is equipped with a …

Flutter is an unstable oscillation caused by the interaction of aerodynamics and structural
dynamics. It is current practice to operate aircraft well below their open-loop flutter speed in …

Control of stochastic nonlinear systems turns out to be notoriously difficult when stochastic
uncertainties and time‐varying delays occur simultaneously. This article presents a tractable …
