NASA Technical Memorandum 4720 A Historical Overview of Flight Flutter Testing
SUMMARY This paper reviews the test techniques developed over the last several decades for flight flutter testing of aircraft. Structural excitation systems, instrumentation systems, digital data preprocessing, and parameter identification algorithms (for frequency and damping estimates from the response data) are described. Practical experiences and example test programs illustrate the combine...

A mvkrr is made of the techniqws that have been developed or are being developed in the United Kilngdon for flight vibration testing and flight flutter testing aircraft. This includes a description of the instnznentation used for recotiing the Vibratioml response, and a comparative assessment of the vaious methods used for exciting the aircraft in i'lipht flutter tests.
متن کاملA Historical Overview of Research in Reconfigurable Flight Control
This paper presents a historical overview of research in reconfigurable flight control with a focus on work done in the United States. For purposes of this paper, the term reconfigurable flight control is used to refer to software algorithms designed specifically to compensate for failures or damage of flight control effectors or lifting surfaces by using the remaining effectors to generate com...
متن کاملAeroelastic flutter of feathers, flight and the evolution of non-vocal communication in birds.
Tonal, non-vocal sounds are widespread in both ordinary bird flight and communication displays. We hypothesized these sounds are attributable to an aerodynamic mechanism intrinsic to flight feathers: aeroelastic flutter. Individual wing and tail feathers from 35 taxa (from 13 families) that produce tonal flight sounds were tested in a wind tunnel. In the wind tunnel, all of these feathers could...
متن کاملRobust Flutter Margin Analysis That Incorporates Flight Data
An approach for computing worst-case flutter margins has been formulated in a robust stability framework. Uncertainty operators are included with a linear model to describe modeling errors and flight variations. The structured singular value, μ , computes a stability margin that directly accounts for these uncertainties. This approach introduces a new method of computing flutter margins and an ...
