Abstract

Flutter sensitivity studies of high aspect ratio aircraft wings J.R. Banerjee Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, City University, Northampton Square, London, UK ABSTRACT Flutter sensitivities of high aspect ratio aircraft wings with cantilever end conditions are studied. The flutter speed is calculated applying a normal mode approach through the use of generalised coordinates. Significant structural parameters which affect the flutter speed, are varied when investigating the flutter sensitivities. Results are presented for four representative aircraft wings. The significances of results are discussed.
