About this ebook
The structural dynamic problems anticipated during the design of the X-15 airplane are reviewed briefly, and the actual flight experiences are described. Considerable time and effort were expanded in finding solutions and providing modifications to the airplane which alleviated the structural dynamic problems encountered. It is of interest to note that the modifications have been relatively simple; and a major portion of the effort has been required to determine the source of trouble and to proof-test the modification. The flight experience of the X-15 airplane and the research initiated by the X-15 program have made a major contribution toward understanding the panel-flutter problem.
