□ Although all that has been said above may seem rather complicated and expensive, an application of these ideas should substantially simplify the task of learning effectively from college assignments. In applying these suggestions to a student's particular situation and to the evaluation of his need for new equipment, the following basic points made in this presentation should be considered: 1) Everything is read at the fastest comprehendable speed; 2) A small, portable machine is useful for recording lectures and for reading during available bits of time throughout the day; 3) Ideas from what is read are condensed and recorded onto separate reels for each major aspect of each subject (low frequency beeps are used to identify sections or dates on tapes); 4) Notes, rather than the original works, are used for review; 5) Face-to-face reading is kept to a minimum; 6) Braille reading is also kept to a minimum; and 7) Paid or volunteer readers are used to do as much "mechanical" work as possible.

A flight research program exploring the practical application of real-time performance optimization based on aircraft measurements and calculation of incremental drag from forced-response maneuvers is presented. The outboard ailerons of the L-1011 test bed aircraft were modified to provide for symmetric deflections to permit a recambering of the wing in that localized area, which in turn modifies the entire wing load distribution. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration developed an onboard research engineering test station from which the flight experiments are conducted and all analyses, both qualitative and quantitative, are performed in a realtime or near real-time manner. Initial flight test results are presented that indicate real-time drag minimization is attainable. An approach to an operational implementation of adaptive performance optimization on current and future commercial and military transports is discussed with the goal of keeping the required modifications si.
