16 - ATPL Question Bank in English - Which statement correctly describes a mass-distribution measure used in the design against wing bending-torsion flutter?

Question 16 - Principles of Flight - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot Licence

Unanalysed ballast added aft of the wing’s elastic axis always prevents flutter.

Wing mass distribution has no effect on flutter stability.

Properly designed forward mass balancing can improve flutter stability, with the result confirmed by aeroelastic analysis and testing.

Adding any mass at any position guarantees that all flutter modes are eliminated.
