What is it about?
A new approach to the mitigation of aerodynamic gust using a decomposition of the aerodynamic lift distribution in terms of "modes". When combined with a modern Unknow Input Observer yields a physically realizable controller using on board sensors and conventional actuators.

Why is it important?
Effective Gust Alleviation is import for structural load control, wing root moment mitigation and concomitant fatigue and passenger comfort in commercial air transport.
