Payoffs From Active Controls Technology Applications - Transport Aircraft}, booktitle = {34th Annual Conference, Seattle, Washington, May 5-7}, year = {1975}, month = {5/5/75}, pages = {13}, publisher = {Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc.}, organization = {Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc.}, type = {10. WEIGHT ENGINEERING - AIRCRAFT DESIGN}, address = {Seattle, Washington}, abstract = {A comprehensive mass properties analyses process is essential in determining reliable payoffs for reduced static stability (RSS) and load alleviation and mode suppression (LAMS). This process is discussed as it applies to advance design studies relating to the application of active controls to transport aircraft. Reference is made to the Douglas mass properties estimation system (MAPES) which is a computer program for transport aircraft weight estimation, and is very adaptable to active controls applications. Weight effects to structural components resulting from the application of RSS and LAMS are discussed, as are systems implications. Payoffs are discussed in terms of vehicle range, vehicle size, and increased payload. }, keywords = {10.
