Summary:

This paper describes a preliminary research flight test program to investigate the development of a gust alleviation system for Commuter and General Aviation Aircraft. The program was conducted on a variable stability Navion aircraft and investigated the use of both up and down flap deflection in combination with elevator to alleviate the effects of gusts.A second phase of the program to investigate methods of sensing gusts in sufficient time for use of this method is currently in the planning stage
