Abstract

A method for reducing vibrations in an airframe of an aircraft includes determining, with a processor, information indicative of an initial error value between a desired vibration level and a measured vibration level in the airframe; determining, with the processor, an initial adjustment solution for the aircraft in response to the determining of the information for the initial error value; receiving, with the processor, information indicative of a flight response to the initial adjustment solution; combining, with the processor, disturbance signals indicative of vibration noise with the information for the flight response; determining, with the processor, a subsequent error value between the desired vibration level and a subsequent measured vibration level; and determining, with the processor, a predicted adjustment solution in response to the determining of the subsequent error value.
