GUST LOAD ALLEVIATION ON A LARGE BLENDED WING BODY AIRLINER

摘要

This paper investigates the gust load responseof a large 750 passenger Blended Wing Body(BWB) airliner for identification of sizing casesfor the aircraft structure. Consideringmanoeuvre load alleviation, gust loads becomethe dominant sizing factor for the BWBairplane. In order to allow for structural weightsaving a Gust Load Alleviation System (GLAS)is designed and evaluated by numericsimulations.
