Patent ID: 7699269

Claim:
A mobile platform comprising: a flight control system generating commands; a structure associated with the mobile platform; an aerodynamic surface; an actuator operably coupled to the surface to control the surface; a vibration sensor coupled to the structure and generating a vibration signal representative of a vibration of the structure; a position sensor that generates a position signal representative of the position of the actuator, the flight control system being responsive to the position signal; and a circuit in communication with the actuator, the position sensor and the vibration sensor, with the circuit including; a first input communicating with the flight control system to accept the commands; a second input communicating with the vibration sensor to accept the vibration signal, a third input to receive the position signal indicating the position of the actuator; and a summing element that sums the vibration signal and the command, the circuit controlling the actuator with the summed signal and command.
