Usually applied to wings or ailerons - the unstable oscillation caused by interaction between aerodynamic forces, elastic reactions in the structure and the force of inertia. Unless damped quickly flutter will break a wing. The cure is usually to dispose the weights so that the centre of gravity of the wing is as far forward as possible. Ailerons, elevators and rudders are mass-balanced to prevent flutter.
