Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...

The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a ...

Active flutter suppression is an increasingly critical field in aeronautical engineering, addressing the challenges posed by the dynamic aeroelastic interactions in modern flexible aircraft. As ...

All aircraft wings have a remarkable capacity for flex. But one of the most significant changes in aircraft engineering in the four decades or so has been the addition of composite materials, ...

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 ...

Moscow-based Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) has completed flutter tests on the Sukhoi Superjet 100 ( SSJ100) extended range aircraft, which has a new wing with improved structure.

Boeing passed a major milestone today in the 787 Dreamliner program. Today's flight test of airframe ZA001, the first 787 to fly back in December, marks the end of flutter testing for the airplane.

When creating lift, longer, thinner wings can reduce drag, making them efficient. However, they can become very flexible in ...
