This work wanted to study flutter characteristics of high-aspect-ratio wing with large deformation which can consider geometrical non-linearity effects. Both wind tunnel tests and numerical method were employed. Through the experimental phenomenon, a series of new flutter characteristics were observed. Complex aeroelastic patterns related to geometrical non-linearity can be analyzed.
