In the following, we present computational aeroelastic flutter onset and limit cycle oscillation response trends for various stores and weapons configurations of the F-16 fighter. A nonlinear harmonic balance compressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamic flow solver is used to model the unsteady aerodynamics of the F-16 wing. However, slender body/wing theory is used as an approximate method in accounting for the unsteady aerodynamic effects of wingtip launchers and missiles.
