The course is focused at interaction of aerodynamic, elastic and inertial forces at airplane. There is considered an influence of change of applied load due to structure deformation of elastic airplane structure. The following aeroelastic phenomena are analyzed modeled, calculated and simulated: Flutter, buffeting, whirl flutter, control reversal and efficiency, dynamical response during flight and dynamical response for ground maneuver. The course is also aimed at obtaining an input data for aeroelastic calculation therefore determination of mass and stiffness airplane characteristics. Creating of airplane dynamical mode including stiffness optimization at experimental data. There are also presented theories of unsteady aerodynamic within the course, subsonic and supersonic. There are presented marginally requirement of airworthiness authorities for aircraft aeroelasticit resistance. A flight flutter tests implementation is included in the course. In addition, there are present a structural design modification for increasing airplane resistance against aeroelastic phenomena’s.
