Abstract

Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation to determine the flutter characteristics of several rectangular wings of variable aspect ratio at a range of Mach numbers. The wings were solid aluminum or steel and were 2, 4, and 6 percent thick. Results regarding the flutter at low and high angles of attack are provided.
