Keywords: aeroelastic scaling laws, experimental, slender wing

The design of innovative aircrafts have requested numerous advances in computational aeroelasticity. In particular, analysis procedures adopted to compute aeroelastic phenomena, need to be revisited when it comes to the design of very flexible configurations. The aeroelastic flutter analysis process should always include an experimental test phase.
