4.1.11 fast control loops for load control

Fast control loops for load control are high-frequency electronic feedback systems that process sensor data and command control surfaces within milliseconds to suppress structural loads. These systems are important to enable highly flexible, lightweight wing designs by instantly reacting to atmospheric turbulence. Challenges in developing these control loops lie in ensuring ultra-low sensor-to-actuator latency and meeting stringent safety-critical certifications.
