1️⃣ Flutter is a dangerous phenomenon encountered in flexible structures subjected to aerodynamic forces. Flutter occurs as a result of interactions between aerodynamics, stiffness, and inertial forces on a structure.
2️⃣ In an aircraft, as the speed of the wind increases, there may be a point at which the structural damping is insufficient to damp out the motions which are increasing due to aerodynamic energy being added to the structure.
3️⃣ This vibration can cause structural failure and therefore considering flutter characteristics is an essential part of designing an aircraft.
