Book excerpt: Flutters tests of 39 cantilever wings with tubular bodies or closed bodies at the tips have been made in a small intermittent-flow supersonic wind tunnel where the testing technique involved changing the structural parameters so that the combinations would flutter at the tunnel Mach number of 1.3. Some effects of mass moment of inertia of the tube about the elastic axis, tube center-of-gravity location, and mass flow through the tube on the flutter-speed coefficient were studied. The experimental results are compared with a theory using two-dimensional air forces on the wing and tube forces derived form a modified slender body theory.
