- Summary:
- VGH time-history data obtained from one type of twin-engine transport airplane during operations from 1950 to 1952 on a transcontinental route are analyzed in order to determine the magnitude and frequency of occurrence of gust accelerations, gust velocities, and the associated airspeeds and altitudes. The present results compare favorably with results previously obtained for a similar type of twin-engine airplane during other operations. A somewhat less severe acceleration history for the present operations than that shown for the other airplane appears to have resulted from a lower operating airspeed in rough air for the present operations. The VGH data and a limited sample of V-G data from another route were synthesized to obtain estimates of overall gust and acceleration histories.
