Abstract

This note attempts to clarify some basic ideas, and correct some common misunderstandings, on wing flexure-torsion flutter. Topics include:(i) an understanding of the physics of wing flexure-torsion flutter through a number of specific examples,(ii) an examination of the energy interpretation of the physics of flutter, indicating its limited usefulness,(iii) a discussion of the significant differences between wing flexure-torsion flutter and the Duncan flutter engine,(iv) a graphical representation to assess the contribution of various parameter to flutter onset,(v) subcritical response below the critical flutter speed,(vi) some practical wing flutter considerations.
