Institution Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Date 1943-05-31 Abstract The present report gives a correlation of the results of earlier researches into the prevention of flutter of spring tabs. The restrictions on tbe way in which tab masa-balance must be applied , which are given in the earlier work, are shown to be very simply derivable from the conditions neceesary for the elimination of elastic end inertia coupling; and from these considerations en optimum length of tab balancing arm is deduced. The recommendations for avoidance of spring tab flutter are summarised in §9. Two Appendices deal respectively, with the optimum length of arm when the aerodynamic actions are taken into account, and the relation between the results of the earlier work and the recommendations of §9.
