The past ten years have seen a fuller integration of the various technologies utilized in aerospace systems, including propulsion, structures, flight control, avionics, and ergonomics. These 12 papers by scientists and engineers cover active flutter suppression in wings, design of aircraft for maintainability, new techniques in flight control reconfiguration, on-board automatic aid and advisory for pilots of control-impaired aircraft, placement of sensors and actuators in structural control, and pneumatic high-angle-of-attack flush air data sensing system.
