The occurrence of flutter as a hazardous event of elastic structures in flow environment mostly leads to failure and demolition of the aircraft. The loss of flutter stability within a flight envelope ...

European researchers have used scaled aircraft demonstrators to test new concepts for lighter, larger-span wings intended to avert flutter problems. The ground vibration tests were conducted at a ...

In autumn 2024 and May 2025, the Institute of Aeroelasticity had the opportunities to conduct a ground vibration test on two flying wing gliders. As similar as the aircraft are in terms of their ...

Russian analysts are conducting tests with an Irkut MC-21-300 model with wings representative of those created with domestically-sourced composites. The research at the Central Aerohydrodynamic ...

Nothing is quite so delicate as the dance of butterflies on the breeze, and, as new research suggests, nothing is quite so humbling to flight engineers. After spending several years constructing a ...
