A method for exploring the flutter characteristics of wing-only configurations in the transonic flow regime is presented. At the heart of the method is the Unsteady Transonic Small Perturbation (UTSP) program, which solves the nonlinear transonic small perturbation equation with or without the simultaneous integration of the structural equations of motion. The aim here is to describe the functionality of the program, with a particular emphasis on its implementation within the existing aeroelastics analysis environment at the Kingston site of British Aerospace. Before demonstrating the use of the UTSP program on a production conbat wing, results for the AGARD Taileron and wing 445.6 models are presented, with the aim of validating the method.
