A criterion for the prevention of spring-tab flutter

A. R. Collar; G. D. Sharpe (1946)

The present paper advances a formula which can be used as a criterion for the degree of mass-balance necessary for the avoidance of spring-tab flutter. The formula shows that if the tab is of sufficiently light construction, ...
The Effect of Tab Mass-balance on Flutter Part I Ternary Tailplane-Elevator-Tab Flutter Part II Experiments on the Influence of Tab Mass-balance on Flutter

G. H. L. Buxton; G. D. Sharpe; C. Scruton; P. M. Ray; D. V. Dunsdon (1946)

Part I. Following an accident to a Mosquito fitted experimentally by the Royal Aircraft Establishment with a g-restriction device involving heavy mass-overbalance of an elevator tab, an investigation has been made into the ...
