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 ...
Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...
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.
The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a smoother ride while saving fuel.
NASA and Boeing are testing longer, thinner wings that can provide a smoother plane ride while saving fuel. It’s claimed that ...
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.
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 ...
Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...
Kistler announced availability of its piezoelectric and variable capacitive sensing technologies for flight test requirements, including in-flight structural analysis; flight test simulator ...
