This paper describes a flutter analysis method for the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft using a vortex lattice method coupled to an unsteady transonic correction method to account for unsteady aerodynamics in transonic flow. A steady-state vortex-lattice model of the Truss-Braced Wing aircraft is developed using vortex lattice code VSPAERO. A transonic and viscous flow correction method is implemented in the VSPAERO model to account for steady-state transonic and viscous flow effects using transonic small disturbance code TSFOIL coupled to an in-house integral boundary layer code. In addition, a wing-strut interference correction method is developed to account for the transonic interference aerodynamics in the strut juncture region using high-fidelity CFD code FUN3D. A structural dynamic finite-element model of the Truss-Braced Wing aircraft is developed using BEAM3D in-house finite-element code and is coupled to the VSPAERO. The BEAM3D model includes a geometric nonlinearity due to the tension in the strut which causes a deflection-dependent nonlinear stiffness. An unsteady transonic correction method is developed to better capture the unsteady aerodynamics in transonic flow. The unsteady transonic correction method makes use of the Theodorsen’s theory to account for the amplitude and phase shift of the unsteady lift coefficient in transonic flow. A preliminary flutter analysis of the Truss-Braced Wing aircraft is conduct to illustrate the unsteady transonic correction approach.
