(PhysOrg.com) -- Anyone who has ever flown knows the feeling: an otherwise smooth flight gets a little choppy. If you are lucky, the plane skips a few times like a rock across a pond and then settles.
Aeroelastic analysis of tiltrotor whirl flutter stability addresses the complex interaction between aerodynamic forces, structural flexibility and gyroscopic effects in tiltrotor aircraft. Whirl ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Flutter is a form of aeroelastic instability that manifests itself with oscillations (see Figure 1) which either grow, and eventually lead to a structural failure, or remain at some constant-amplitude ...
Test Video Shows Interesting Structural Capabilities of Advanced Aircraft Like B-2. This remarkable video of a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber undergoing wing flutter testing on June 14, ...
Upon his retirement as a non-routine flight operations captain from a fractional operator in 2015, Dr. Veillette had accumulated more than 20,000 hours of flight experience in 240 types of ...
Boeing has completed aeroelastic flutter testing and ground effects testing with its first two 787 test aircraft. This clears the way for the formal US Federal Aviation Administration certification ...
