    CONTROL SURFACE FLUTTER
    •- Flutter is the rapid and uncontrolled oscillation of a flight
    control (or the surface to which it is attached) that occurs as a
    result of an unbalanced surface.
    • - Flutter is caused by the interaction of aerodynamic forces,
    inertia forces, and the elastic properties of the surface or structure
    and can lead to the catastrophic failure of the structure.
    • - Flutter can be prevented by mass balancing control surfaces to
    alter the moment of inertia of the surface and therefore the period
    of vibration (move the control surface C of G closer to the hinge).
    • - Flutter of the mainplanes may be prevented by using the
    engines as mass balances, placing them on pylons forward of the
    wing leading edge.
    MATERIALS USED
    • 1. ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS- most widely used metals for structural use due to a
    good strength-to-weight ratio with 'duralumin' type alloys predominating due to their
    good fatigue resistance.
    • 2. STEEL AND ITS ALLOYS- only used where strength is vital and weight penalties can
    be ignored.
    • 3. TITANIUM- much lighter than steel and can be used where fire protection is required
    (firewalls). It has good strength and retains this and its corrosion resistance up to
    temperatures of 400 °C.
    • 4. MAGNESIUM ALLOYS- the principal advantage being their weight. This gives an
    excellent strength-to-weight ratio (aluminum is one and a half times heavier). The
    elastic properties of magnesium are not very satisfactory so its use in primary structures is
    limited.
    • 5. COMPOSITE MATERIALS- good resistance to corrosion and can easily be formed
    into complex shapes but their fatigue behavior is different from that of conventional
    metal alloys.
    HEAVY LANDINGS
    • Landing gear is designed to withstand landing and
    vertical descent velocity. If these parameters have
    been exceeded during landing, damage may be
    caused to the landing gear of supporting structures.
    • Overstressing can be also caused by landing with
    drift or landing in an abnormal attitude (nose or tail
    wheels striking the runway before the main
    wheels).
