Abstract

The present invention provides a vibration excitation system which allows a vibration exciter to be easily mounted on/removed from a wing. The present invention is a vibration excitation system for an aircraft which imparts vibration to a main wing of an aircraft subjected to a test flight, for evaluation of vibration resistance to flutter. A vibration exciter which generates vibration is removably mounted on the main wing through a fixing structure. It is preferable that the fixing structure transmit the vibration of the vibration exciter as a shearing force to a front spar and a rear spar of the main wing.
