Two different studies are presented involving a transport category aircraft with an oblique or asymmetrically swept wing. The first study concerns itself with the effect on flutter of changes in certain of the aircraft structural and inertial parameters. The second portion examines the subcritical damping characteristics of a flexible oblique wing aircraft. For this purpose, a recent version of the NASTRAN computer code is used. A comparison is made between the flutter speeds found using the traditional k analysis and the results found from computation of subcritical response using the p-k or 'British' flutter method.
