The development of analytical and experimental techniques needed to predict space shuttle flutter boundaries and insure adequate flutter margins and anticipated problems associated with aeroelastic-model and full-scale testing to validate flutter clearance are considered. Results illustrating the best available tools for subsonic and supersonic flutter prediction are presented. Programs currently underway which will help overcome the difficult problems envisioned for the transonic wind-tunnel and flight flutter test program are also discussed.
