Abstract

In the article, the joint analysis of the Bernoulli equations for compressed gas, variations of the supersonic flow parameters of the Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan and the hypothesis of aerofoil dynamic curvature were used to develop a linear and a nonlinear mathematical models describing the occurrence of transonic flutter of aerodynamic control surfaces of supersonic aircraft. The analysis of the obtained mathematical models confirms a theoretical possibility of the occurrence of transonic flutter of aerodynamic control surfaces of supersonic aircraft that is due to the peculiarities of the interaction of shock waves with the angular velocity of elastic bending oscillations of aerodynamic control surfaces.
