Default RE: what causes flutter?


ORIGINAL: Minnreefer

Ok, maybe a silly question, what are some signs at the field of flutter, I guess that I have not seen or heard it in person before. Do you usually see it on the airplane? or do you hear it, or does it feel different?

Thanks
Minn,
The first thing you will notice is a very loud BUZZ. The best way I can describe it is when we used to put playing cards in the spokes of our bikes when we were kids. The buzzing that we got when we rode really fast sounds a lot like flutter in a plane.
