A series of simple wing/elevon flutter models of the shuttle orbiter were tested in a 26-inch transonic blowdown tunnel. Flutter points were obtained for two levels of scaled elevon actuator stiffness. A description of the wind tunnel models and the test procedures utilized in the experiment are given. (Author)
