PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT OF GUST DESIGN PROCEDURES BASED ON POWER SPECTRAL TECHNIQUES. VOLUME 2. SUMMARY OF POSSIBLE PROCEDURES

Abstract

A development is given of four possible procedures for designing aircraft for gusts based on power spectral techniques. Each is of a different level of complexity but all are attractive at the moment. In one, explicit consideration of atmospheric turbulence makeup is bypassed altogether. Another makes use of simple over-all composite values of rms value of turbulence intensity and proportion of time in turbulence. A third is more detailed and considers mission aspects explicitly. A fourth is a rather simple comparison approach. Items which represent areas of uncertainty are brought out, chief among these being the turbulence scale value, and the practical means for establishing cutoff values in the determination of the basic frequency parameter No. of the airplane.
