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 ...

A dramatic RC aircraft test demonstrating how aerodynamic flutter can affect flight stability and structural integrity.

The NTSB has requested the FAA to ground the Zodiac 601XL, citing six in-flight breakups and 10 fatalities since 2006. The safety agency attributes these accidents to the 601XL's design, which is ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
