Flutter in aviation is defined as an instability caused by the interaction of various forces in flight. Flutter typically results in somewhat oscillating movement of control surfaces, primarily wings.
Boeing T-7A tail number 7002, the first to be delivered to the USAF, taking off from St Louis Lambert International Airport, Missouri, co-located with Boeing's factory. (Boeing/Eric Shindelbower) The ...
The flutter test rig is used to induce flutter oscillation in aerofoil models in the two degrees of freedom pitch and yaw. To do this, a 2-D airfoil model is suspended elastically from a pitch spring ...
There is a significant risk of flutter in aircraft wings, wind turbines and aircraft engine blades. Flutter is an aeroelastic instability which, under simplified linear conditions, once set in motion ...
