CRITICAL FLUTTER SPEED OF SAILPLANES CALCUTATED FOR HIGH ALTITUDE: EXAMPLES OF COMPUTATION

W Chajec - Technical Soaring - journals.sfu.ca
The calculations of this investigation showed that critical flutter speed goes down as altitude
increases. In case of control surface flutter the decrease may exceed Skm/h for each …

Critical Flutter Speed of Sailplanes Calculated for High Altitude: Examples of computation

W Chajec - Technical Soaring - journals.sfu.ca
Flutter means the vibration of an aircraft or glider in flight caused by elastic, mass and
aerodynamic forces. Flutter calculations determine the minimum flight speed at which un …
