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 ...

The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a smoother ride while saving fuel. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be eliminated for this to happen. The US space agency NASA and the aircraft ...

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 ...

A European research team has demonstrated the suppression of wing flutter in flight using an active control system, potentially paving the way for lighter, more flexible and efficient wings for future ...

These tests aimed to evaluate the change in critical flutter speeds with the domestic-composite wing. According to the institute the examination has shown absence of flutter in the aircraft’s speed ...
