Resumen:	This thesis presents a data‐driven method to predict modal damping and the critical flutter speed of semi‐span flat‐plate wings. A linear FE model (FEMAP/MSC Nastran SOL 145, PKNL with Doublet–Lattice aerodynamics) was calibrated with impact‐hammer modal tests and used to generate mode-by-mode g(V) and f(V) curves for spans 0.35- 0.50 m. From these runs we built a supervised dataset with inputs {S,V, f1,..., f4} and targets {g1,...,g4} and trained a regularized MLP that predicts damping across modes; flutter speed is inferred as the }rst zero‐crossing of the predicted g(V). On held-out simulation cases the network achieved low errors and reproduced the span-dependence of flutter speed; comparisons with wind-tunnel data (limited to ∼25 m/s) showed agreement within the experimental resolution. The approach provides near-instant estimates suitable for preliminary design, while remaining limited by the scope of the parametric sweep and the tunnel envelope. Future work includes broadening geometry variation (e.g., dihedral, sweep), expanding numerical and experimental coverage, and exploring physics-guided or unsupervised models that learn stability directly from raw time-series.
