  Abstract: \n Details: \n Aeroelastic ﬂutter is a destructive instabilit
 y phenomenon for which dedicated ﬂight test campaigns are considered com
 pulsory according to airworthiness regulations. In these tests\, the dynam
 ic characteristics of the aeroelastic system are interpreted from measurem
 ents of the aircraft’s structural responses to external excitations. Ove
 r the years\, several ﬂutter identiﬁcation and prediction techniques h
 ave been suggested to increase the eﬃciency of ﬂutter ﬂight tests an
 d to enable better prediction of the ﬂutter boundary. While most of the 
 methods rely on external mechanical excitation accessories\, the Autoregre
 ssive Moving-Average (ARMA) ﬂutter prediction method attempts to identif
 y the aeroelastic system based on the aircraft structural response to rand
 om air turbulence excitation.\nThis study investigates the application asp
 ects and the methodology of flutter prediction via ARMA system identiﬁca
 tion in a dedicated wind-tunnel experiment. For that purpose\, an elastic 
 wing was designed and manufactured using rapid prototyping. The wing was t
 ested at the Technion’s subsonic wind-tunnel at subcritical points and a
 ll the way to ﬂutter.\nThe current study presents the ﬂutter predictio
 n methodology and process as conducted numerically and in two wind tunnel 
 experiments. The structural responses used for ARMA system identiﬁcation
  are acceleration and strains (measured by strain gauges) in the ﬁrst wi
 nd-tunnel test\, and strains measured via optical ﬁbers in the second te
 st. The study presents comparison of the ﬂutter prediction capability wh
 en based on discrete\, spars measurement (accelerometers\, strain gauges) 
 versus that from more dense measurement (optical ﬁbers). The study focus
 es on the practical aspects of the application of the method in wind-tunne
 l testing\, which is also of great importance for ﬂight testing.
