Extract

The aeroelastic properties of modern aircraft are such that necessary calculations, of critical flutter speeds for instance, can be remarkably complicated. A flutter analyst requires an inordinate degree of skill and experience if he is to acquire a “sense of feel” in calculations. The difficulty of deciding how to adjust a critical flutter speed predictably by some structural modification is a typical outcome of this complication.
