Active control

Active control is a system that dynamically adjusts its behavior in real-time to maintain desired conditions. It uses sensors to monitor factors like position, temperature, or vibrations, and then employs actuators to make precise adjustments, counteracting disturbances or changes. For example, in aerospace, active control can stabilize an aircraft by automatically adjusting control surfaces to maintain steadiness, even in turbulent air. This approach enhances performance, safety, and comfort by continuously responding to changing conditions, rather than relying solely on fixed settings.
