The vortex interference to aerodynamic instability on the rectangular section with side ratio of B/D =4 (B : width length, D : height length) was experimentally investigated. The rotation axes were varied and a splitter plate was installed in the wake to destroy the Karman vortices. Two types of the interference phenomena were confirmed. One is the interference between motion-induced excitation and Karman vortex, the other is between torsional flutter instability and Karman vortex. The lock-in phenomenon of Karman vortex shedding to the body motion affected the vortex shedding from the leading edge and the unsteady pressure characteristics at trailing edge.
