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 ...

The flutter test rig is used to induce flutter oscillation in aerofoil models in the two degrees of freedom pitch and yaw. To do this, a 2-D airfoil model is suspended elastically from a pitch spring ...

Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...

The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a smoother ride while saving fuel.
