Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, efforts to increase aircraft efficiency by reducing excess structural weights have led to the concept of high aspect ratio lightweight wings and more flexible airframes. Consequently, the coupling between structural dynamics and aerodynamics has become tighter, which poses new challenges in the design, modeling, and control of aircraft. The increased interaction between aerodynamics and structural dynamics often leads to undesired oscillations which may even become unstable at certain airspeeds, also known as aeroelastic flutter.
Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of the flutter phenomena, researchers from various fields have investigated the problem, providing new insights and a better understanding. While these results are offering a solution for the flutter phenomena from a certain aspect, they also imply a tighter co-operation between the different research fields. Therefore, in order to efficiently solve the new challenge, a multidisciplinary approach is required.
This Special Issue on Flutter Phenomena aims to collect new research results and bring the various approaches together. Topics may include:
- Modeling and prediction of the flutter phenomena;
- Online and offline methods for identifying modal damping and other flutter parameters;
- Active and passive flutter suppression;
- Airframe design for flutter testing;
- Flight test design and experimental results.
Submissions of state-of-the-art results on one or more aspects of the aeroelastic flutter phenomena are strongly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
