Tailplane flutter is an aerodynamic phenomenon that occurs when the tailplane (the horizontal stabilizer) of an aircraft experiences oscillations due to the interaction of aerodynamic forces, structural stiffness, and mass. These oscillations can lead to destructive vibrations, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the aircraft. Flutter typically arises at specific airspeeds and can be influenced by factors such as the design of the tailplane, the weight distribution, and the overall aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. It is a critical consideration in aircraft design and safety assessments.
