Abstract
Summary:—The response of a P1a fighter aircraft to vertical and lateral harmonic gusts is calculated, and the predicted spectra for response accelerations at many points on the structure compared with previous flight measurements in continuous turbulence. The frequency range for the comparison is 0.45 c/s to 30 c/s and the response includes the short period pitching and the dutch roll rigid–body modes as well as oscillations in five symmetric and four anti–symmetric flexible modes. Structural flexibility is represented by measured vibration modes and aerodynamic forces are calculated by an oscillatory lifting surface theory.
