Abstract
In contrast to Chap. 6 on feedback control, this chapter is focused on feed-forward control design. These designs focus on either gust load or maneuver load alleviation, respectively. The first section presents a convex synthesis of a conceptual, triggered finite-impulse response (FIR) gust load alleviation system, while the second section develops a maneuver load alleviation system for lateral command response based on convex synthesis. The last section focuses on a full-information \(\fancyscript{H}_{\infty }\)-design for maneuver loads alleviation for the longitudinal direction.
