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 ...

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 ...
