Wind tunnel experiments are performed on a flying wing model to investigate the effects of key design parameters and their cross-interactions on the flutter speed and frequency for bending-torsion flutter (BTF) and body-freedom flutter (BFF). These design parameters include wing sweep angle, mass of...
