Safe Flutter Determination for Wings Undergoing Large Deflections: Experimental Application of the Parametric Flutter Margin Method to a Highly Flexible Wing

The flight tests which are part of the certification procedure that prove that no flutter occurs within the flight envelope are fraught with risk. To reduce the risk, numerous numerical analyses, wind tunnel and ground tests are performed, which together with the flight tests result in a long and costly test programme.<br/><br/>To reduce the...
