Flutter is an extremely violent instability that may result in catastrophic failure. Thus, flutter clearance test is one of the critical phases in qualification of an aircraft’s airworthiness. During design and development process of an aircraft, flutter problems were experienced on an aerodynamic surface (horizontal tail). In order to tackle the observed problem, a number of approaches to optimize the design for flutter speed were computationally and experimentally studied and evaluated. This paper presents and discusses the outcomes of these studies. A hybrid approach based on evaluations and design change constraints has been proposed to suppress the flutter of the horizontal tail.
