Response of an Airframe to Sinusodial Wing Flap Deflection

Abstract

The frequency response of an airframe to wing flag deflections is derived analytically from the simplified equations of motion of the airframe in a plane. The response curves are put into a form convenient for their use in the overall design of an automatic aircraft control system. The effects upon the frequency response of changing the aerodynamic and physical parameters are considered briefly.
