Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...

Long-span wings generate less drag, but design rules limit their slenderness to avoid the potentially catastrophic aeroelastic instability known as flutter. Now, as part of the search for fuel ...

The Air Force, NASA and Lockheed Martin are teaming for new ways to fight the vibration caused by "flutter" that can destroy aircraft, Jason Paur writes in Wired's Danger Room blog. Rather than using ...

Abstract: Highly fuel-efficient aircraft designs with low-weight, high aspect ratio wings often suffer from an increased flutter sensitivity. Flutter is an undesired oscillation which becomes unstable ...
