The NTSB has requested the FAA to ground the Zodiac 601XL aircraft, citing six fatal in-flight breakups and ten fatalities since 2006. The NTSB concluded that the 601XL's design is susceptible to ...
Modern CFD simulations provide detailed insights. However, especially in the transonic regime, they face physical and modeling limitations. Nonlinear interactions between shock waves and blade ...
In our January issue, we ran an article, "Slow Down, You Move Too Fast," which focused on aerodynamic flutter, how high speeds can cause it and what can be done to minimize it. One aspect of the ...
The Grob G180A business jet prototype that crashed fatally during a demonstration flight in 2006 went out of control when aerodynamic flutter developed in the aircraft's horizontal stabiliser, ...
