Abstract The application of active circulation control gives rise to a substantial increase in lift compared to conventional wings. Initial studies of the aeroelastic behaviour of a circulation-controlled wing have shown additional instabilities due to the active circulation control. Besides the heave flutter phenomenon, further investigation also reveals a destabilising effect of the aerodynamic derivatives related to pitch, which is peculiar to circulation-controlled wings. The goal of the present paper is to investigate these phenomena in detail.
