This paper describes a multiyear effort to recompute all of the numerical flutter results contained in Theodore Theodorsen’s and I.E. Garrick’s (“T&G’s”) groundbreaking trilogy of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics technical reports on aeroelastic flutter (NACA Reports 496, 685, and 741). The paper includes overviews of T&G’s aeroelastic equations and solution methods, comparisons between the original and recomputed numerical results, and instances of errors and tripping points (potentials for confusing the reader) in the original NACA reports.
