Flutter testing is a prime requisite for aircraft capabilities
testing. Successful completion of flutter testing enables an
expanded flight envelope and the ability to safely put more crew on
board for further testing. The KC-46 flutter tests included the
Wing Aerial Refueling Pods (WARP) and a stowed refueling boom.
