Modern high-speed aircraft commonly adopt all-moving rudder to enhance maneuverability. However, freeplay within all-movable rudder system can induce limit cycle oscillation (LCO). This paper investigates the influence of bending freeplay on the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior. A novel mechanism for LCO induced by bending freeplay is proposed.
