Handbook of Military Aircraft Design Normal Load Factor Exceedance Data

Abstract

The information presented in this handbook is derived from airborne data recorded using oscillograph and magnetic tape systems collecting Loads Environment Spectra Survey Data on a multitude of USAF aircraft. The data is broken down into three main categories: Cargo Class, Fighter/Attack Class, and Trainer class. Special information included in the handbook are Ground Data from the C-141 and Aerial Refueling from the C-5. The data is broken down by aircraft, mission, and mission phase. Plots are provided and show comparisons of different aircraft models. The tables presented express NZ (normal load factor) in exceedances per 1000 flight hours and ground data in exceedances per 1000 flights.
