A development environment to evaluate a novel control approach for load alleviation is presented. The control structure includes cascaded and partly distributed gust load alleviation functions. The implemented control loops are processed by the central flight control computer as well as by decentralized and fast Remote Electronic Units which are located close to the control surfaces.
