The application and assessment is described of CAP-TSD (Computational Aeroelasticity Program - Transonic Small Disturbance) code for flutter prediction. The CAP-TSD program was developed for aeroelastic analysis of complete aircraft configurations and was previously applied to the calculation of steady and unsteady pressures. Flutter calculations are presented for two thin, swept-and-tapered wing planforms with well defined modal properties. The calculations are for Mach numbers from low subsonic to low supersonic values, including the transonic range, and are compared with subsonic linear theory and experimental flutter data. The CAP-TSD flutter results are generally in good agreement with the experimental values and are in good agreement with subsonic linear theory when wing thickness is neglected.
