Experimental Study of Flutter Characteristics of Selected Wing Plan forms for the Effect of Camber

Abstract

This article focuses on understanding the effect of airfoil camber on the flutter characteristics of the wing. Experiments were conducted on four-wing models at different air velocities/ airspeeds and at different angles of attacks on wing models that are manufactured with the same span chord dimensions and also the same material. Accelerometers are attached to the wing tip on the leading and trailing edges to measure the change in value of acceleration with time using the Arduino and Arduino code. From the results obtained, it is observed that as the location of camber moves closer to the flexural axis, the flutter seems to be induced faster than otherwise.
