Theoretical study of some methods for increasing the smoothness of flight through rough air

Report presenting a theoretical study of the response to gusts and stability and control characteristics of an airplane equipped with systems in which wing flaps and elevators are operated to reduce accelerations in rough air. The surfaces are actuated by an automatic control system in response to indications of an angle-of-attack vane or accelerometer.
