In this work an alternative beam finite element for rapid time-domain flutter analysis of wings equipped with trailing edge control surfaces, generally distributed along the span, is presented. The aeroelastic beam finite element proposed is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, De St. Venant torsion theory and two-dimensional time-domain unsteady aerodynamics. The developed finite element model is attractive for preliminary aero-servo-elastic analyses and flutter suppression systems design purposes; moreover, the finite element matrices obtained could be easily included in existing aeroelastic optimization codes that already use beam modelling of lifting structures to carry out aeroelastic tailoring studies.
