  2. Aeroelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroelasticity

    In a linear system, "flutter point" is the point at which the structure is undergoing simple harmonic motion—zero net damping—and so any further decrease in net damping will result in a self-oscillation and eventual failure. "Net damping" can be understood as the sum of the structure's natural positive damping and the negative damping of ...

  3. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Mass balance protruding from an aileron used to suppress flutter. A control horn is a section of control surface which projects ahead of the pivot point. It generates a force which tends to increase the surface's deflection thus reducing the control pressure experienced by the pilot.

    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 14 January 2025. This is a list of onomatopoeias, i.e. words that imitate, resemble, or suggest the source of the sound that they describe. For more information, see the linked articles. Human vocal sounds Achoo, Atishoo, the sound of a sneeze Ahem, a sound made to clear the throat or to draw attention ...

  5. Reduced frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_frequency

    For the case of flutter analysis, lift history for the motion obtained from the Wagner analysis (Herbert A. Wagner) with varying frequency of oscillation shows that magnitude of lift decreases and a phase lag develops between the aircraft motion and the unsteady aerodynamic forces. Reduced frequency can be used to explain the amplitude ...

  6. Flutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flutter

    Aeroelastic flutter, a rapid self-feeding motion, potentially destructive, that is excited by aerodynamic forces in aircraft and bridges; Flutter (American company), a gesture recognition technology company acquired by Google in 2013; Flutter (electronics and communication), any rapid variation of signal parameters

  7. Dart (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(programming_language)

    Google introduced Flutter for native app development. Built using Dart, C, C++ and Skia, Flutter is an open-source, multi-platform app UI framework. Prior to Flutter 2.0, developers could only target Android, iOS and the web. Flutter 2.0 released support for macOS, Linux, and Windows as a beta feature. [67]

  8. Conductor gallop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductor_gallop

    A similar aeolian phenomenon is flutter, caused by vortices on the leeward side of the wire, and which is distinguished from gallop by its high-frequency (10 Hz), low-amplitude motion. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] To control flutter, transmission lines may be fitted with tuned mass dampers (known as Stockbridge dampers ) clamped to the wires close to the towers ...
