A Method for Establishing Landing Design Criteria for Carrier-Based Airplanes.
Abstract
A program was defined to develop a method for establishing landing design criteria for current and future Navy aircraft. This program was pro posed in two phases, the first phase consisting of a statistical analysis of variables at touch down and landing gear variables and, the determi nation of multivariate relations from which design criteria are derived. Phase II will ex tend the study to include a method for determin ing design landing loads. The quantitative re sults of the statistical study of available carrier suitability test data are presented as tables, histograms, cumulative distributions and regression lines. A sequence of multivariate relations was determined for the variables perti nent to the establishment of design criteria which, when used as a mathematical model of the landing environment, provides a design criterion and specific values for use in qualification spectra. The compatibility of these results with existing specifications and requirements has been investigated. (Author)
