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 ...

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 ...

In our January issue, we ran an article, "Slow Down, You Move Too Fast," which focused on aerodynamic flutter, how high speeds can cause it and what can be done to minimize it. One aspect of the ...

The aeroelastic dynamics of long-span bridges encompasses the complex interplay between aerodynamic forces and structural flexibility. As spans exceed one kilometre, wind-induced phenomena such as ...

Fast obstacles in a medium are responsible for striking physical phenomena, such as aerodynamic flutter, Čerenkov radiation and acoustic shock waves. In a hydrodynamic picture, quantum systems exhibit ...

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, ...

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 ...

Unlike civil aviation, where aircraft fly relatively steadily and generate lift at low angles of attack, military aircraft are often required to perform extreme manoeuvres. These manoeuvres can push ...
