The effect of backlash and trailing-edge strips on the flutter speed of a two-dimensional model of a tailplane with tab
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Summary
The effect of backlash and trailing-edge strips on the flutter speed of a two-dimensional model of a tailplane with tab has been investigated in a series of wind tunnel tests. When backlash is present, a change in preload, which is achieved by varying the incidence of the tab, can dramatically alter the flutter speed. The addition of trailing-edge strips to the tab lowered the flutter speed.
