Supersonic flutter of a 60©� delta wing encountered during the flight test of a rocket-propelled model /

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.NACA Research Memorandum L54D12A."June 22, 1954."Title from cover.Includes bibliographical references (p. 6).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.
