Abstract

In this paper, the aeroelastic behavior and flutter instability of aircraft wings in subsonic incompressible flight speed regime are investigated. Quasi-steady and unsteady aerodynamic models are used for aerodynamic modeling and the obtained aeroelastic predictions are compared to those available in the specialized literature. Based on a number of test cases, it is shown that the quasi-steady aerodynamic models are inadequate for the determination of aeroelastic behavior and flutter boundary of aircraft wings in the incompressible flight speed range.
