Flutter

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006983

An undesirable oscillatory motion or vibration in a mechanical system, often caused by aerodynamic forces or imbalances. This phenomenon can lead to structural fatigue, reduced performance, and even catastrophic failure if not mitigated. In aircraft, flutter can occur when aerodynamic forces overcome the structural damping of a wing.
