European researchers have used scaled aircraft demonstrators to test new concepts for lighter, larger-span wings intended to avert flutter problems. The ground vibration tests were conducted at a ...
The occurrence of flutter as a hazardous event of elastic structures in flow environment mostly leads to failure and demolition of the aircraft. The loss of flutter stability within a flight envelope ...
Supported by USAF tankers, the ex-Danish F-16s reached South America, carrying inert missiles for aerodynamic balance during ...
Russian analysts are conducting tests with an Irkut MC-21-300 model with wings representative of those created with domestically-sourced composites. The research at the Central Aerohydrodynamic ...
As Boeing’s 787 illustrates, airliner wings are more slender than they used to be. But as wings get slimmer in pursuit of lower drag and lighter weight, flutter becomes a greater concern. Flutter is ...
Nothing is quite so delicate as the dance of butterflies on the breeze, and, as new research suggests, nothing is quite so humbling to flight engineers. After spending several years constructing a ...
