Flutter testing is critical ... "Good config" says an engineer carefully monitoring his screen and communicating with flight test director Scott Peterson who is sitting close by.

have become so common in aviation engineering. Some of the reasons are also illustrated in this video, that shows “aeroelastic flutter”. Aeroelastic flutter is a type of instability that can ...

Abstract: Highly fuel-efficient aircraft designs with low-weight, high aspect ratio wings often suffer from an increased flutter sensitivity ... Pusch received his master’s degree in aerospace ...

There is a significant risk of flutter in aircraft wings ... This involves simulating a combined vibration and flow situation in a test facility - in a wind tunnel or on a test rig - measuring many ...

The gust test rig enables the generation of a defined disturbance (gust field) that will impact a second model located further downstream. A slender 2-D aerofoil model is used as the actual gust ...
