Example methods and apparatus for mitigating aerodynamic flutter of aircraft (100) wing (104, 106) flaps (112) are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a fairing (200), an actuator (400), and a damper (600, 1300, 1400). The fairing (200) is located on a bottom side (210, 212) of a wing (104, 106) of an aircraft (100). The actuator (400) is disposed in the fairing (200). The actuator (400) is coupled to and extends between the wing (104, 106) and a flap (112, 114) of the wing (104, 106). The damper (600, 1300, 1400) is disposed in the fairing (200). The damper (600, 1300, 1400) is coupled to and extends between the fixed wing (104, 106) and the moveable flap (112, 114).
