Hypersonic and transonic buzz measurements on the lower pitch flap of the M2-F2 lifting entry configurationFree-oscillation damping measurements at hypersonic and transonic Mach numbers are presented for the lower pitch flap of the M2-F2 reentry vehicle. For the flow and model conditions tested, the damping measurements indicate the absence of hypersonic buzz instability for flap rotation frequencies of 47.3 Hz, 153 Hz, and 360 Hz, the presence of transonic buzz for 47.3 Hz flap, and the absence of transonic buzz for a 115 Hz flap. There are not enough flap damping data for an error estimate based on repeatability, but a partial damping calibration is presented in which an analog computer simulation of random flap response for a known flap damping is fed into the autocorrelation computer and filter combination used for most of the damping measurements.
