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 ...

Fluttering is usually reserved for fans, flags, and Nicolas Cage’s coats during action movies. Under the right conditions, though, it’s good for more than just window-dressing. Find out how flutter ...

A seventh crash now under investigation appears to have been caused by the aerodynamic flutter identified by NTSB last spring. Owners of factory-built Zodiac CH-601XLs have been directed to make ...

Fast obstacles in a medium are responsible for striking physical phenomena, such as aerodynamic flutter, Čerenkov radiation and acoustic shock waves. In a hydrodynamic picture, quantum systems exhibit ...

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, ...

When aircraft begin to vibrate in flight, things get uncomfortable – or even dangerous in the worst case. Flow-induced oscillations on wings or tailplanes can have catastrophic consequences. These are ...

In autumn 2024 and May 2025, the Institute of Aeroelasticity had the opportunities to conduct a ground vibration test on two flying wing gliders. As similar as the aircraft are in terms of their ...
