A flutter analysis, employing slender-body aerodynamic theory and thin-plate theory, is made for rectangular wings of very low aspect ratio with a constant thickness. The spanwise variation of wing deflection is assumed to be given by a parabola, and the chordwise variation is allowed complete freedom. The results show the vsriation of flutter speed and male shape with aspect ratio. Comparisons are made with additional resuits obtained by approximating the chordwise deflection shape by use of parabolic or cubic curves. The analysis shows that the cubic approximation gives good resuits for a ratio of chord to semispan less than 3.

A flutter investigation has been made in the Langley transonic blowdown tunnel at Mach numbers between 0.79 and 1.34 on a thin 10 degree sweptback wing having an aspect ratio of 4 and a taper ratio of 0.6. The data obtained have been compared with data from NACA Research Memorandum L55I13A for zero and 30 degree sweptback wings of the type investigated, the flutter boundary for the 10 degree sweptback wing falls between those for the zero degree and 30 degree sweptback wings in the low supersonic Mach number range. However, the subsonic level (around a Mach number of 0.8) of the flutter boundary for the 10 degree sweptback wing lies above those for the zero and 30 degree sweptback wings. In addition, the amount of rise in the flutter boundary from the subsonic level to the supersonic values is about the same for the wings with angles of sweepback of 10 degrees and zero degrees, but is much greater for the wing with an angle of sweepback of 30 degrees.
