Active control for flutter suppression and limit cycle oscillation of a wind tunnel wing section is presented. Unsteady aerodynamics is modelled with strip theory and the incompressible two-dimensional classical theory of Theodorsen. A good correlation of the stability behaviour between simulation and experimental data is achieved. The paper focuses on the introduction of a nonlinearity in the plunge degree of freedom of an experimental wind tunnel test rig and the design of a nonlinear controller based on partial feedback linearization. To demonstrate the advantages of the nonlinear synthesis on linear conventional methods, a linear controller is implemented for the nonlinear system that exhibits limit cycle oscillations above the linear flutter speed. The controller based on partial feedback linearization outperforms the linear control strategy based on pole placement. Whereas feedback linearization allows to suppress fully the limit cycle oscillations, the pole placement fails to achieve any significant reduction in amplitudes
