How can you find the natural frequency of an aircraft?

AI Thread Summary
To find the natural frequency of an aircraft, it's essential to specify which component is being analyzed, such as the fuselage, wings, or control surfaces. The complexity of the problem requires a solid foundation in mechanical or aeronautics engineering. This involves taking relevant courses, studying various texts, and mastering specific analytical tools. Due to the intricate nature of the subject, a comprehensive answer cannot be provided through a simple forum discussion. A thorough educational background is necessary to effectively tackle this engineering challenge.

The natural frequency of what? The fuselage? The wings? The control surfaces? The fuel sloshing about?

This is not a question that can be answered in any satisfactory way on an internet forum. The way you go about solving this problem is to become a mechanical or aeronautics engineer. Along the way you will have to take multiple classes, read multiple books, learn how to use multiple tools.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
