An investigation into transonic flutter characteristic of an airfoil conceived with the morphing leading and trailing edges has been carried out. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to calculate the unsteady aerodynamic force in transonic flow. An aerodynamic reduced order model (ROM) based on autoregressive model with exogenous input (ARX) is used in the numerical simulation. The flutter solution is determined by eigenvalue analysis at specific Mach number. The approach is validated by comparing the transonic flutter characteristics of the Isogai wing with relevant literatures before applied to a morphing airfoil. The study reveals that by employing the morphing trailing edge, the shock wave forms and shifts to the trailing edge at a lower Mach number, and aerodynamic force stabilization happens earlier. Meanwhile, the minimum flutter speed increases and transonic dip occurs at a lower Mach number. It is also noted that leading edge morphing has negligible effect on the appearance of the shock wave and transonic flutter. The mechanism of improving the transonic flutter characteristics by morphing technology is discussed by correlating shock wave location on airfoil surface, unsteady aerodynamics with flutter solution.
