 Abstract

A wind-tunnel flutter test on a supercritical wing model is described. Objectives of the test were to investigate the transonic dip and to enable comparisons with calculated flutter characteristics in which a quasi-3-D transonic theory was used. The beginning of a transonic dip was measured and a satisfactory agreement with theory could be found. An additional flutter instability in the bottom of the transonic dip could be correlated with the loose of transition strip effectivity at low Reynolds numbers.
