Abstract: The application of existing and available techniques and materials to the design of a flutter model of a Dyna-Soar (X-20A) configuration is discussed. Solutions to the specific problems of simulating the structure scale weight, stiffness and aerodynamic characteristics are presented. The model was subsequently tested in the Transonic and Supersonic legs of the Arnold Engineering Development Center 16-foot Propulsion Wind Tunnel.
