Summary:

A dynamically scaled model of a Navy XBM-1 biplane was tested in the gust tunnel to provide data for use in determining the structure of atmospheric gusts from measurements of the motions of the full-scale airplane in rough air.

The agreement of the test results with values computed by means of the theory of unsteady lift of monoplanes was good for gust gradient distances up to 12 chord lengths when the computations were based on the assumption that the wings of a biplane act independently in unsteady flow and when the mean slope of the lift curves of the two wings and the mean chord of the cellule were used in conjunction with data on the unsteady lift of finite wings.
