Yesterday the National Transportation Safety Board released a synopsis, subject to further review and editing, of its findings on the September 2011 crash of a ...

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 ...

Fluttering is usually reserved for fans, flags, and Nicolas Cage’s coats during action movies. Under the right conditions, though, it’s good for more than just window-dressing. Find out how flutter ...

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, ...

Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...

A team of international researchers has succeeded in overcoming one of the greatest challenges in aviation. They have actively suppressed the dreaded phenomenon of flutter with a sophisticated control ...
