Cover Story: Flutter speed estimation remains a key challenge in aeroelastic design, especially for lightweight aircraft structures. This study assesses two efficient frequency-domain identification methods (the fast relaxed vector fitting (FRVF) and the Loewner framework (LF)) to extract modal parameters from ground vibration tests (GVTs) and inform a reduced-order aeroelastic model (ROM). Applied to a flexible wing prototype, both methods yield flutter speed estimates within 3 to 5% of benchmark results, highlighting the critical influence of damping identification accuracy and demonstrating their value for rapid preliminary assessments.
