A team of international researchers has succeeded in overcoming one of the greatest challenges in aviation. They have actively suppressed the dreaded phenomenon of flutter with a sophisticated control ...

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 ...

Aeroelastic analysis of tiltrotor whirl flutter stability addresses the complex interaction between aerodynamic forces, structural flexibility and gyroscopic effects in tiltrotor aircraft. Whirl ...

ROBERT HARRIS SCANLAN, a leading founder of aeroelasticity theory, died May 27, 2001, at his home in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, at the age of 86. Working in the United States and abroad and in ...
