When aircraft begin to vibrate in flight, things get uncomfortable – or even dangerous in the worst case. Flow-induced oscillations on wings or tailplanes can have catastrophic consequences. These are ...

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 ...

Aeroelasticity deals with the interaction of elastic structures in an air stream and its aerodynamic loads as well as the impact of this interaction on the design of the structure. Aeroelastic ...

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

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

The Integrated Adaptive Wing Technology Maturation wind-tunnel model installed in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel at NASA ...
