Aeroelastic

The effect we capitalize on is known as aeroelastic flutter, most famously exhibited in the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The nose and the small 'aeroelastic' winglets deform as the Italia's speed rises, shrinking the size of the radiator inlets and lowering drag. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Talons and EDI have aeroelastic wings, which merely sweep back and forth based on how fast the craft is flying. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Borschberg, who hopes to pilot the aircraft during the attempt, is confident that after careful study of the behaviour of these materials the design is free of the aeroelastic problems that have dogged other large solar planes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The system uses aeroelastic flutter and vibration of a membrane - rather than a spinning turbine - is at the core of the Microbelt, which is intended to replace the batteries used in wireless sensor networks (WSN). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Dr Ennos said it was an aeroelastic flutter that caused the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge in the US to famously wobble and collapse in November 1940, just a few months after it opened. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Ferrari 458 Italia introduces a number of innovative technologies, such as the reduction of internal friction losses inside the engine as well as significant aerodynamics development on the exterior design, including the aeroelastic winglets at the front that generate downforce and, as speed rises, deform to reduce the section of the radiator inlets and cut drag. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The team reported that the drumming was created by an "aeroelastic flutter", a self-feeding, potentially destructive vibration. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The nose also sports small aeroelastic winglets which generate downforce and, as speed rises, deform to reduce the section of the radiator inlets and cut drag. ❋ Unknown (2010)
