Description

As the theoretical calculations indicated a possibility of the development of rudder flutter on CF-105, an experimental verification of the critical speed and frequency was required. A series of tests in the NAE 30 in. x 16 in. supersonic wind tunnel was performed on a fin model equipped with rudders of suitable density and hinge stiffness.
