Abstract

A simple but effective method is presented to analyse the effects of asymmetric external stores on flutter of an aircraft in this paper. The method is a kind of ‘direction derivative’ technique, and can be easily applied to predict whether the asymmetric external stores increase or decrease the flutter speed. By using the present technique the varying tendency of flutter speed can be determined preliminarily. This can be very useful and valuable to the designers at the beginning stage of flutter analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved analytically.
