Extract

The calculation of the response of an aircraft to atmospheric gust has two main purposes. These are, first, to make possible an assessment of the peculiarities of the response of a particular aircraft (e.g. the length of the discrete gust which produces maximum load), and secondly, to provide an estimate of the gust loads which the aircraft must be designed to withstand, in both the static and fatigue senses. (In this paper, however, the fatigue aspects are not considered.)
