In this paper, a genetic algorithm linear quadratic Gaussian controller (GA-LQG) and an artificial neural network (ANN) controller are implemented for gust response alleviation of lightweight flying wings undergoing body-freedom oscillations. A state–space aeroelastic model has been formulated by co...
