This paper presents the application of a self adaptive POD based ROM to unsteady aerodynamic prediction in a computational aeroelasticity framework. The method is first presented and then an application to aeroelastic simulations is performed for inviscid flows. In order to reduce the computational cost, while maintaining representativity to industrial environments, the simulations have been performed on an airfoil instead of a lifting surface. The results show very good potential for such simulations and even higher gains are expected when moving to three-dimensional simulations.
