Flutter characteristics at transonic speeds of a 45 degree sweptback wing with and without inboard modifications at the leading and trailing edges

Thomas B Sellers, Norman S Land

Abstract

Report presenting flutter characteristics at transonic speeds of a model of a fighter-type-airplane wing over a range of Mach numbers. The results indicated an abrupt increase in flutter speed ratio near a Mach number of 1.0, with only slight increases noted as it was increased to 1.4. Results regarding the effect of flutter-boundary shape are provided.
