Ride quality is becoming an important area of concern in the acceptability of an aircraft. This has led to considering the use of active structural mode control systems on present and future aircraft to obtain acceptable ride quality. Although ride quality criteria are available, these criteria have not included considerations of mode control system effects and performance. This report extends the suggested criteria of a previous report to include the effects of an active structural mode control system. It is shown how the criteria as applied to separate vertical and lateral systems may be used in the design of a single system which controls both the vertical and lateral axes simultaneously.
