In this paper, we use the Monte Carlo simulation to study aeroelastic behavior caused by non-random uncertain free-stream velocity. For sampling, we use the interval process method. Each family of samples is defined by a correlation function and upper and lower bounds. By using this sampling method, there is no need for constructing precise probability distribution functions; therefore, this method is suitable for practical engineering applications. We studied the aeroelastic behavior of an airfoil and a high aspect-ratio wing.
