All aircraft wings have a remarkable capacity for flex. But one of the most significant changes in aircraft engineering in the four decades or so has been the addition of composite materials, ...

Active flutter suppression is an increasingly critical field in aeronautical engineering, addressing the challenges posed by the dynamic aeroelastic interactions in modern flexible aircraft. As ...

Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...

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 ...

Moscow-based Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) has completed flutter tests on the Sukhoi Superjet 100 ( SSJ100) extended range aircraft, which has a new wing with improved structure.

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 ...

Boeing has completed aeroelastic flutter testing and ground effects testing with its first two 787 test aircraft. This clears the way for the formal US Federal Aviation Administration certification ...

Two separate incidents within a span of 10 minutes one with a JetLite aircraft and another with an Air India limousine bus triggered hectic activity at the Kolkata airport on Wednesday evening.
