Updated Gust Design Values for Use with AFFDL-70-106

Abstract

Further efforts are made by this report to establish better representative parameters applicable to the mathematical modeling of atmospheric turbulence and to establish associated design values for the structural design of aircraft due to gusts. An evaluation is made of the results that are presented in AGARD Report No. 586-71, which summarizes an extensive data gathering program of gust loads on many aircraft. Updated gust design values and curves are developed herein. These design values were used in a separate study which was made as a check validation of the gust design procedures that are outlined in an Air Force Technical Report, AFFDL-TR-70-106, and which was conducted on several specific existing aircraft.
