Description:
An investigation of both the static aeroelastic and flutter characteristics of an aft swept wing, aeroelastically tailored to washout in one design and to washin in another, has been performed using two one-fourth-scale cantilever models representing the two designs. The models have been designed using an MSC/NASTRAN finite element model to preserve the full-scale airplane washout and washin characteristics. Test results show that the effect of the skin-to-core adhesive on model stiffness must be considered in the design cycle. Flutter analyses correlate fairly well with test results. Consideration is also given to F-16 metal and washout wing flutter speeds and mass ratio effects.
