Summary

A method is given for the solution of the flutter determinant on a general purpose electronic digital computer. The method has been programmed for the N.R.D.C. 401 Computer and details of this programme are given. A quicker programme, applicable when only structural damping is present and there are two degrees of freedom, is also discussed. Appendix I discusses in detail the types of errors which occur when the method is applied and Appendix II considers the anticipated loss of accuracy which will be encountered when using the method in cases where the number of degrees of fredom is large.
