ABSTRACT:
A system and method for adjusting the camber of an airfoil extending from an aircraft for optimum flight performance. In the method, a velocity signal is produced that represents the longitudinal velocity of the aircraft. Utilizing the velocity signal, it is determined if a change in camber of the airfoil can increase the aircraft's flight performance. Thereafter, the camber of the airfoil is changed until an optimum flight performance is achieved.
