Gust Response Analyses for Ten General Aviation Aircraft Using a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Power Spectral Technique.

摘要

A power spectral technique for estimating gust loads on aircraft is presented, applied to ten general aviation aircraft and the results compared with those obtained by other methods. The technique used employs two-degree-of-freedom models of the longitudinal and lateral aircraft motions due to atmospheric turbulence. The results of this technique are compared with those obtained using Peele's method and simpler one-degree-of-freedom models. The primary conclusion is that this new method would be a useful design tool for the small aircraft manufacturer with access to a digital computer. (Author)
