Graham leads Aviation Week's coverage of technology, focusing on engineering and technology across the aerospace industry, with a special focus on identifying technologies of strategic importance to ...

Abstract: Highly fuel-efficient aircraft designs with low-weight, high aspect ratio wings often suffer from an increased flutter sensitivity. Flutter is an undesired oscillation which becomes unstable ...

A testbed for future fuel-efficient transport and unmanned aircraft with slender, flexible wings has made its first flight at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Calif. The X-56A Multi-Utility ...

Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...

The Air Force, NASA and Lockheed Martin are teaming for new ways to fight the vibration caused by "flutter" that can destroy aircraft, Jason Paur writes in Wired's Danger Room blog. Rather than using ...

W.E.W. Petter hired World War II veteran Wing Commander R.P. Beamont as chief test pilot to ensure the Canberra met operational needs. Beamont demanded a functional cockpit and pushed the aircraft's ...
