Abstract
Systems and methods of aircraft modal suppression informed by an underlying non-uniform vertical turbulence model and uniform lateral turbulence model. The systems and methods include receiving a plurality of signals from on-board inertial sensors of an aircraft, utilizing the plurality of signals to generate a plurality of observers, utilizing the observers to determine a control law command for controlling one or more control surfaces of the aircraft, and moving the one or more control surfaces of the aircraft in accordance with the determined control law command such that lateral mode vibrations of the aircraft are diminished.
