Abstract

Aeroelasticity is the study of the mutual interaction that takes place among aerodynamic, elastic, and inertia forces acting on aircraft structures exposed to an airstream. Aircraft structures are not completely rigid and aeroelastic phenomena arising when structural deformations induce changes in aerodynamic forces. The aeroelastic phenomena include flutter, divergence, control reversal or effectiveness, etc. This paper presents the investigations of flutter suppression control scheme with modern control theory. These techniques are important for the designs of modern aircraft. The flutter is now a part of aircraft certification and flight envelope expansion.
