Can active control help tiltrotor aircraft fly faster?

A new study is investigating how deploying spoiler-like devices, called mini-tabs, could help future eVTOL designs fly faster. Mini-tabs could aerodynamically counteract the vibrations caused by whirl flutter – a catastrophic instability that occurs at high speeds. maxon provided the motion solution to test their effectiveness on a novel wind tunnel test rig.
