Test Video Shows Interesting Structural Capabilities of Advanced Aircraft Like B-2. This remarkable video of a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber undergoing wing flutter testing on June 14, ...

Aeroelastic analysis of tiltrotor whirl flutter stability addresses the complex interaction between aerodynamic forces, structural flexibility and gyroscopic effects in tiltrotor aircraft. Whirl ...

Panel flutter is a typically dynamic aeroelastic instability phenomenon of the external skin panel with one side exposed to supersonic airflow. This phenomenon can lead to fatigue damage and result in ...

The term flutter represents one of the central phenomena in the field of aeroelasticity and describes a self-excited oscillation, which, in the worst case, can lead to a destruction of aircraft ...

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 ...

In a collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR, Göttingen, Germany) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM, Munich, Germany), researchers ...

Winglet manufacturer Aviation Partners has completed a test flight with a Hawker 800 featuring a new winglet installation that was tweaked to prevent aeroelastic flutter. The original Aviation ...

Aeroelasticity of composite structures in supersonic flow addresses the dynamic interaction between aerodynamic forces, structural elasticity and inertial effects in high-speed regimes. Composite ...

Upon his retirement as a non-routine flight operations captain from a fractional operator in 2015, Dr. Veillette had accumulated more than 20,000 hours of flight experience in 240 types of ...
