Presented is a limited review of some experiences in flight testing of missiles and of wing flutter investigations that may be of interest in missile design. Several types of flutter of concern in missile studies are briefly described. Crude criteria are presented for two of the most common types of flutter to permit a rapid estimate to be made of the probability of the occurrence of flutter. Many of the details of the flutter problem have been omitted, and only the broader elements have been retained so as to give the designer an overall view of the subject.
A flight investigation at subsonic speeds of a method to improve the damping of lateral oscillations by means of a viscous damping cylinder used in the rudder system in conjunction with adjusted hinge-moment parameters has been conducted. The damping device has been applied to a modern fighter-type jet-powered airplane. The rudder was made to float with the relative wind by the addition of trailing-edge strips. In order to amplify the floating tendency (by reducing the restoring moment), a highly geared balancing tab was incorporated. Lag of the motion of the free rudder with respect to the yawing of the airplane was introduced by means of a small viscous damping cylinder linked to the rudder.
