Flight in Turbulence.

Abstract

Although a number of international symposia have been held on atmospheric turbulence, the desired emphasis in the one reported is flight through turbulent air rather than on turbulence as encountered in flight. Two aspects of the problem have received attention: Analysis of data on atmospheric phenomena as related to measurable or forecastable meteorological parameters; and the magnitude and distribution of turbulence in space and time. The sessions involved medium and low altitude flight, mathematical models, aircraft operational problems, conventional civil transports, STOL aircraft, high speed low level military flight, design criteria, and means of alleviating turbulence effects.
