Abstract
This paper summarizes the definition of five current technology commercial transport airplanes with integrated active controls systems. Their potential performance and economic improvements relative to a Conventional Baseline Airplane are presented. Weight assessments of active controls functions, a summary of the wing structure detailed weight analysis,and center-of-gravity management (balance and loadabi1ity) data are also discussed. *This paper reports work accomplished under NASA contracts NAS1-14742 and NAS1-15325. Acknowledgment is made to Robert H. Brunelle, Albert E. Chukitus, Keith H. Hartz, Robert A. McManus, and the IAAC Design Team, who provided data and guidance.
