Irkut’s SSJ-New, the successor to the Superjet 100, is undergoing aeroelasticity testing as part of the preparation for the aircraft’s maiden flight. An initial round of flutter tests was carried out ...

Fast obstacles in a medium are responsible for striking physical phenomena, such as aerodynamic flutter, Čerenkov radiation and acoustic shock waves. In a hydrodynamic picture, quantum systems exhibit ...

The general theory of aerodynamic instability and the mechanism of flutter has been applied for decades in the environmental condition of uniform flow. Given the substantial growth in wind energy ...

The pressure from society and politics on the aviation industry to develop, build and operate energy-efficient and low-noise aircraft is growing. For future aircraft conceps, T-tails are increasingly ...

The Grob G180A business jet prototype that crashed fatally during a demonstration flight in 2006 went out of control when aerodynamic flutter developed in the aircraft's horizontal stabiliser, ...
