Ooooohh, THAT looks VERY scary! I had never seen such large amplitude
flutter before. I had always seen small buzzing types of flutter. I hope I
never see either kind, except in a video.

It was a test flight with a specially reinforced glider. Any production
glider would have lost its wings pretty quickly.

....when those new piezoelectric wings short circuit. g

BTW, if flutter happens what do you glider pilots do:
Nose up?
Nose down?
Start speaking German?

They say the same thing we do, only in German it's one word instead of
two and two syllables instead of one.

Bail out! Catastrophic flutter can occur and destroy the structure in
less than 2 seconds.
