Book Description
An analysis of the flight time-history records of a record-propelled 60 degree delta-wing airplane configuration indicate that wing flutter started during the accelerating portion of the flight at a Mach number of approximately 1.7 and continued through the peak Mach number of the test (M = 2.08) and during deceleration at least until telemeter failure at M = 1.4 and probably to an even lower speed. CW Doppler velocimeter data indicated that the wings did not fail during the flight.
