Abstract
Experimental and theoretical flutter results are presented for a simplified 1/50-size wind-tunnel model of an arrow-wing configuration. Transonic flutter characteristics are presented for three configurations - wing without engine nacelles, wing with flow-through nacelles, and wing with pencil nacelles (thin, streamline bodies). Experimental results are correlated with analytical results obtained from kernel-function and doublet-lattice unsteady aerodynamic theories. Theoretical results are presented that show the effects on flutter of systematic changes in structural stiffness and mass.
