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 ...

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

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 ...

Modern CFD simulations provide detailed insights. However, especially in the transonic regime, they face physical and modeling limitations. Nonlinear interactions between shock waves and blade ...

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 ...

Reduced-order modelling (ROM) of aeroelastic dynamics seeks to bridge the gap between high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or experimental data and the practical demands of design, control ...
