A METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING LANDING DESIGN CRITERIA FOR CARRIER-BASED AIRPLANES

Abstract

A method for establishing landing loads design criteria for carrier- based airplanes is presented in this Phase II report. The airplane's landing environment was mathematically defined in Phase I, and provides the initial conditions necessary for the evaluation of landing loads. TADS CRITERIA INCLUDE METHODS FOR DETERMINING DESIGN LOADS, FATIGUE SPECTRA, AND STRENGTH ENVELOPES WHICH ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AT AIRPLANE TOUCHDOWN. The various methods are compared relative to the time required to perform the load analyses, computer time required, and the significance of the results.
