- Summary:
- Time-history data obtained by the NACA VGH recorder from one model of a four-engine civil transport airplane during operations on an eastern United States route are analyzed to determine the magnitude and frequency of occurrence of gusts, gust accelerations, and the associated airspeeds. The results of the analysis are compared with results previously reported for two similar operations involving other types of four-engine transports. The gust-load history for the present operation is indicated to be more severe than that for the other two operations. The present airplane was operated in rough air at a higher percentage of its design speed than were the other airplanes and this condition was primarily responsible for the more severe load history for the operation.
