Line 22:

During the 1950s over 100 incidences were recorded of military or civilian aircraft being lost or damaged due to unforeseen flutter events. While as recently as the 1990s jet engine flutter has grounded military aircraft.

Techniques to avoid flutter include, changes to the structuresstructure's aerodynamics, stiffening the structure to change the excitation frequency away from the exitation and increasing the [[damping]] within the structure.
