This paper focuses on a novel gain-scheduling state-feedback control strategy to cope with the active flutterrnsuppression of a smart airfoil model. Unlike other gain-scheduled control approaches in the literature, this onernallows combining the polytopic and linear fractional representations into a particular framework to increase therndegrees of freedom of a control design. Finally, a smart airfoil model is used to show the effec-rntiveness of the proposed control method.
