Math Problem Statement
Consider a torsionally elastic (GJ = 8000 lb in2) wind-tunnel model of a uniform wing, the ends of which are rigidly fastened to the wind-tunnel walls. The model has a symmetric airfoil, a span of 3 ft, and a chord of 6 in. The sectional lift-curve slope is 6 per rad. The aerodynamic center is located at the quarter-chord, and both the mass centroid and the elastic axis are at the mid-chord.
