  • Aeroelastic control flap
    Patent number: 4729528
    Abstract: Auxiliary aeroelastic control flaps arranged on the leading edge of an aircraft's wings at or near the wing tips and ahead of the ailerons for actuation under control of the pilot. The aeroelastic control flaps operate with the ailerons to induce supplementary aerodynamic force to augment the effectiveness of lateral and directional control during high stress manuevers at high dynamic pressures, but do not rely on wing sensors such as accelerometers coupled with a computer for automatic operation.
