The paper presents the state-of-the-art in prediction of flutter stability of fighter aircraft with external stores that has been conducted by NLR. It also discusses available computer software, measuring equipment and techniques, and other means and devices useful in flutter clearance activities. Some past F-16 clearance activities are presented, which were carried out under contract for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Special attention is devoted to the flutter stability investigation in the transonic speed regime, which assist in the development and validation of new prediction methods.
