An aircraft includes a fuselage, and first and second freewings. Each of
the first and second freewings is separately mounted to the fuselage and
independently freely pivotable about respective pivot axes. The aircraft
includes an angular rate sensor configured to measure a roll rate of the
fuselage and to output a first roll rate signal. The aircraft includes a
controller in communication with the angular rate sensor and configured
to receive a second roll rate signal from the pilot and to compare the
first and second roll rate signals to generate first and second control
surface control signals. The aircraft includes at least one control
actuator in communication with the controller and configured to actuate a
first control surface of the first freewing and a second control surface
of the second freewing in response to the first and second control
surface control signals, respectively, to control the roll rate of the
aircraft.
