A numerical flutter simulation of a T‐tail configuration in the transonic region is presented. A code for aeroelastic simulations based on the multi‐block and overset grid concept was developed and has been applied to a T‐tail configuration. Flutter simulations are performed at Mach numbers in the range 0.70–0.95, and the obtained results correspond to experimental results. The effect of varying the angle of attack on the flutter boundary is also presented. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
