Modifications to a three-dimensional, implicit, upwind, unstructured-grid Euler code for aeroelastic analysis of complete aircraft configurations are described. The modifications involve the addition of the structural equations of motion for their simultaneous time integration with the governing flow equations. The paper presents a detailed description of the time-marching aeroelastic procedures and presents comparisons with experimental data to provide an assessment of the capability. Flutter results are shown for an isolated 45-deg swept-back wing and a supersonic transport configuration with a fuselage, clipped delta wing, and two identical rearward-mounted engine nacelles. Comparisons are made between computed and experimental flutter characteristics to assess the accuracy of the aeroelastic results.
