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 ...

Longer, thinner wings are on the horizon as NASA and Boeing continue to research what the future of aviation could look like with new revolutionary designs for wings that could make them more ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
