This work wanted to study flutter characteristics of an all-moving control surface model against gap effects. Both wind tunnel tests and numerical method were employed. Through the experimental phenomenon, a series of flutter characteristics were observed. Aeroelastic patterns can be analyzed with experimental results, PIV measurements and numerical simulations.
