This paper describes the design of an active wing tip for a regional transport aircraft is presented. The device is designed with the double purpose of increase the aircraft efficiency and to alleviate gust loads by means of an actively controlled control surface included in it. The control system used for the actuation uses a Static Output Feedback (SOF) architecture, and it is computed by optimizing a quadratic norm (H2) of the closed loop system.
