Current and future transonic aircraft concepts of interest to NASA may be susceptible to complex aeroelastic failure mechanisms that are difficult for computational tools to adequately predict. As such, a direct accounting of transonic flutter behavior has not historically been conducted at early design stages, where problems are less expensive to address. This paper summarizes efforts within NASA Langley's Aeroelasticity Branch to improve this situation, through advancements in computational prediction and optimization of transonic flutter behavior, in addition to planned wind tunnel tests aimed at providing a greater wealth of experimental data to validate predictions.
