Flutter Generator Control and Force Computer.

Abstract

It is required to investigate the possibility of flutter induced by a store carried under the wing of an aircraft. This involves in-flight dynamic analysis of structural deformations at given points on an airframe due to forces originating in the store. A system of rotating eccentric masses generates a force spectrum 2.4 to 20.0 Hz in both horizontal and vertical axes. Electronically controlled, the 'Flutter Generator' runs for 28 s with a swept frequency and a peak force of 800 N. The vertical component of force is computed continuously and telemetered to ground as an analogue signal. (Author)
