Summary

This paper describes the construction of a simple electronic simulator for the solution of flutter problems in two degrees of freedom. It was intended as a prototype for a much larger machine to solve problems in six degrees of freedom.

Details of the construction and circuits are given, together with some typical solutions obtained on the machine. As a result of the successful operation of this prototype a larger machine in six degrees of freedom has now been built.
