To demonstrate and research the technology of active aeroelastic control, an experimental aircraft equipped with multiple canards has been developed and flight-tested. In this paper, the design and development of aerodynamic, structural, and control systems and the results of flight tests of this experimental aircraft are presented, and its application to pseudo-small-satellite is discussed.
