On the dynamic stability of flexible supersonic vehicles

The dynamic stability of a long, slender-bodied vehicle with a flexible fuselage is examined analytically in the supersonic speed regime. The small aspect ratio lifting surfaces are considered to be rigid but dependence of their angles of attack on fuselage flexibility is accounted for. The amplitud...
