Gust-load and airspeed data from one type of four-engine airplane on five routes from 1947 to 1954 (open access)

Gust-load and airspeed data from one type of four-engine airplane on five routes from 1947 to 1954

Report presenting an analysis of approximately 100,000 hours of V-G data from one type of four-engine civil transport airplane to determine the magnitude and frequency of occurrence of the gust loads and gusts. The data were obtained during routine operations over the course of seven years on five different routes. Results regarding the accelerations experienced, gusts encountered, operating airspeeds, gust-load envelopes, and gust-velocity envelopes are provided.
