ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a low observable aerodynamic control system for integrated use with an aircraft fuselage. The control system is provided with a shadow structure having an inner sloping region and an outer sloping region. The inner sloping region defines a shadow structure concavity. The outer sloping region is attachable to the aircraft fuselage. The control system is further provided with an aerodynamic control device having a body portion and a base portion. The base portion is disposed within the shadow structure concavity. The body portion extends from the base portion beyond the shadow structure concavity.
