NTSB Safety Alert CH 601
Wanna see an airplane break up from flutter?
Watch the movie clip: http://www.velozia.com/?p=1387 BTW, the Auguste Raspet Memorial Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Mississippi State University does flutter testing on airplanes, including experimentals. Bring your checkbook. White Lightning designer and Citadel-educated engineer Nick Jones had the White Lightning successfully tested there. I have balanced a set of flight controls with lead embedded in the leading edges--- rudder, elevator, ailerons --- for the White Lightning; and no, they are not completely balanced, just enough to avoid flutter up to about 350 kts. This is a 220 kt. cruise aircraft.
