Abstract: The dependence of the critical speed of the flutter of the shallow spherical shell from the thickness is investigated by a method of computational experiment. It is shown that this dependence has the form $\nu=a+bh_c$, where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are constants, which depend on parameters of the problem.
