The first flight test demonstration of active flutter suppression has been successfully completed. The Control Configured Vehicles (CCV) B-52 test airplane was twice flown 10 knots faster than its flutter speed relying solely on an automatic control system for adequate damping. The design, safety considerations, mechanization, ground testing, and flight testing of the flutter mode control system are reported. Comparisons between flight test and theoretical results are presented. The system was tested at heavy and light airplane weights and tested for compatibility with simultaneous ride control, maneuver load control, fatigue reduction, and augmented stability.
