Abstract
-
A method is presented of constructing inflatable AIRMAT* type models which are suitable for use as wind tunnel flutter model s. The techniques used in static and dynamic model test are also presented along with the results of some tests on a series of sharply swept back, inflatable delta wings . The vibration mode shapes of a delta wing as determined by use of mirrors, mounted on the model, are presented. The importance of shear and bending type deformations are presented by comparing the results of static and dynamic tests with theoretical calculations . A limited amount of experimental results on the properties of the model surface material are also included .<br><br>
