Strain gages embedded in an upper skin structure portion of the wing, near the centerline axis, measures centerline moment and produces a feedback signal used for adjusting the control surfaces of the wing, to produce stabilizing forces. This enables the wings to be designed primarily for strength, not stiffness.
