Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...

NASA and Boeing are testing longer, thinner wings that can provide a smoother plane ride while saving fuel. It’s claimed that ...

The occurrence of flutter as a hazardous event of elastic structures in flow environment mostly leads to failure and demolition of the aircraft. The loss of flutter stability within a flight envelope ...

These wings could be a game-changer for aircraft, with experts from NASA and Boeing now exploring the development and ...

European researchers have used scaled aircraft demonstrators to test new concepts for lighter, larger-span wings intended to avert flutter problems. The ground vibration tests were conducted at a ...

As Boeing’s 787 illustrates, airliner wings are more slender than they used to be. But as wings get slimmer in pursuit of lower drag and lighter weight, flutter becomes a greater concern. Flutter is ...

Russian analysts are conducting tests with an Irkut MC-21-300 model with wings representative of those created with domestically-sourced composites. The research at the Central Aerohydrodynamic ...
