Flutter is a potentially damaging dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon where aerodynamic forces with the natural modes of vibration cause a periodic motion of a structure going unstable.

Experimental Investigation on Flutter Similitude of Thin-Flat Plates

Previous researches have mainly optimized aircraft structures from the perspectives of both static and dynamic constraints such as stress, displacement, modal frequency, and flutter constraints; see, for example, the previous publications by Sikes et al.
