Extract

It has been shown both experimentally and theoretically that the Mach number range from 1·0 to 1·5 is very critical for panel flutter. Also, the correlation between experiment and theory in the above range has generally been poor.

Sufficient papers have now been written which are relevant to the title subject that it is possible to make a review of the subject and to make recommendations for further work. These papers are reviewed in approximate chronological order. In all cases the panels referred to are rectangular and unswept with the air flow on one side only, unless otherwise stated.
