In a previous work, displacement sensors were positioned at the wing tips and then the gain matrix of the feedback control was optimized. In this way, the performance of the control is restricted to the predetermined position of the sensors. Hence, in this paper we apply another methodology to simultaneously optimize the sensors positioning and the gain matrix.
