Reduction of Incremental Load Factor Acceleration Data to Gust Statistics

Abstract

This report defines a general procedure for the reduction of center of gravity vertical acceleration data towards gust statistics. The specific aspects treated included: (1) separation of accelerations due to gusts and maneuvers, (2) definition of peaks and valleys, (3) reduction of accelerations to gust velocities using either a discrete-or a continuous-gust concept. The possibility of reevaluating and reducing existing European load sources into a format compatible with the defined general reduction procedure is investigated. Flight loads, Maneuvers, Aircraft response, Discrete gusts, Continuous gusts.
