A sensitivity analysis of flutter response of a two-degree of freedom airfoil with plunging and pitching degrees of freedom in transonic flow was performed using a state-space representation of the unsteady aerodynamic behavior. The structural equations of motion of the airfoil with bending and torsional degrees of freedom are coupled to the unsteady airloads, and the aeroelastic system so modeled is solved as an eigenvalue problem to determine the stability. The results of eigenanalysis showed good agreement with flutter calculations performed using a time-integration of the aeroelastic equations. The sensitivities of the flutter speed with respect to the mass and stiffness parameters wee computed by both the analytical and finite difference methods, showing excellent agreement.
