dc.description.abstract	The report describes a method for the direct measurement of the aerodynamic effects of aspect ratio on wing flutter. The method requires the use of stiff (virtually rigid) wings flexibly mounted at the root. Details are given of tests on untapered, unswept wings with freedoms in modes of linear flexure and uniform pitch. A comparison is made between measured values of the flutter characteristics and the values calculated using an aerodynamic theory for oscillating wings of finite aspect ratio, and reasonable agreement for flutter speeds and frequencies is obtained.	en_US
