A low-cost gust load alleviation wind tunnel testing capability has been developed for the University of Washington’s 3ft by 3ft low-speed wind tunnel. The two main components of the resulting system are a flexible half span wind tunnel model and a gust generation system. The wind tunnel model is an actively-controlled flexible wing / fuselage / tail configuration. In addition to presenting the system, the paper presents initial gust load alleviation results using Model Predictive Control. The system is versatile by design and allows testing of a wide range of configurations and an extensive selection of control laws at low costs.
