Frequency modal and damping characteristics of an aeroelastic model designed for experiments in the wind tunnel are studied. Based on the experimental modal analysis the structural mass damping and stiffness matrices of the model are determined by identification procedures. The stability boundaries, i.e. the critical flow velocity for the flutter instability of the model, were measured in the wind tunnel. The results are aimed for supporting the development of new numerical methods for aeroelastic computations.
