What are the advantages of the ACT (Active Control Technologies)? 

• Maintains the safety of both aircraft and pilot

• Configures the aircraft ready for flight

• Pilot delivering violence on the enemy

Damping - system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating.

• undamped

• overdamped

• critical damped
