Experimental Investigation of the Transonic and Supersonic Flutter Characteristics of the Upper and Lower Vertical Tails of an Air-to-Ground Missile
Description:
"Flutter models of the upper and lower vertical tails of an air-to-ground missile have been tested in the Mach number range from 0.5 to 3.0. It was found that the upper surface exhibited more or less conventional flutter behavior throughout the Mach number range, whereas the lower surface experienced a sudden change in flutter mode at a Mach number of about 1.18. This change in flutter mode was accompanied by a decrease of about 50 percent in the density required for flutter to occur" (p. 1).
