AN ANALYSIS OF ACCELERATIONS, AIRSPEEDS, AND GUST VELOCITIES FROM THREE COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS OF ONE TYPE OF MEDIUM-ALTITUDE TRANSPORT AIRPLANE

摘要

Time-history data obtained by the NACA VGH recorder from one model of a four-engine civil transport airplane during operations on three routes are analyzed to determine the magnitude and frequency of occurrence of gust velocities, gust and maneuver accelerations, and the associated airspeeds. Variations of the gusts and gust accelerations with route and flight condition are indicated. Estimates of the overall gust and gust-load histories for extended operations on one route are obtained by supplementing the data from the NACA VGH recorder with available data from the NACA V-G recorder.
