Computer Program for the Prediction of Aircraft Response to Runway Roughness. Volume 2. User's Manual

Abstract

A computer program has been developed for use in determining the dynamic response of an aircraft to runway roughness during takeoff and constant speed taxi. The mathematical model has been programmed in FORTRAN for a CDC 6600 digital computer. A typical takeoff simulation requires less than 200 seconds of computer time and less than 77,000 octal storage locations. The output from the program is in two formats, a digital listing and a Calcomp- plotted time history. The plotted output is very useful in evaluating results.
