Sure. The wing can flutter given its natural lift characteristics. It's like dropping a feather and a brick. In ideal, theoretical situation, both fall at the same rate. Add friction, wind, etc. and the brick lands first and typically directly below, or close to where it was dropped. The feather floats.
