Active turbulence
cancelling
Turbulence Cancelling is able to reduce turbulence loads felt by passengers by more than 80% making use of counteracting control surface deflections.
Anticipating measurement of turbulence ahead of aircraft see Turbulence Load Prediction. High-dynamic lift variation low inertia flaps, see Direct Lift Control
More than wing root moments.
Vertical Acceleration, Pitch, Roll, Wing Bending
Flight tests with manned demonstrator aircraft have already confirmed the positive effects
First US patent granted, EP positive preliminary examination. Further patents in application
Direct Lift
Control
Direct Lift Control is achieved by dynamically adjusting the wing shape instead of rotating the whole aircraft - like birds do.
Turbulence Load Prediction
Turbulence Load Prediction enables to proactively anticipate turbulence impacts rather than only react after their occurrence.
