Flutter study of a solar powered high-altitude long endurance UAVBy Sukinder Singh, Kevin R. Anderson, Steven Dobbs, Donald Edberg
Abstract: This paper presents an aero-elastic flutter analysis on a high altitude long endurance unmanned air vehicle. Numerical finite element analysis (FEA) based simulations for flutter have been carried using the commercial FEA package ANSYS. Analytical flutter analysis is performed to verify the FEA results. The analytic flutter analysis gives the divergence speed to be 32.7 m/sec. The numerical flutter analysis of the rudder shows the bending and torsional modes for …
