Abstract: This paper proposes a novel method for the unbounded oscillation prevention of an aircraft wing under the flexural torsional flutter, an innovative multiagent attitude to control an aircraft wing with a surface consisting of managed rotating “feathers” (agents). Theoretical evaluation of the method demonstrates its high aptitude to avoid an aircraft wing’s flexural-torsional vibrations via expansion of the model’s ability to dampen the wing oscillations. It potentially allows increasing an aircraft’s speed without misgiving of the flutter. A new way to control an aircraft wing based on the Speed-Gradient methodology is suggested to increase the maximal possible flight speed without a flutter occurrence. Provided experiments demonstrate the theoretical advantage of the multiagent approach to the “feathers” rotation control.
