Summary

Through the use of difference equations and matrix notation a systematic procedure is developed for the calculation of the structural response of an aircraft flying through a gust. The method takes into account wing bending and twisting flexibilities, fuselage flexibility, vertical and pitching motion of the airplane, and some tail forces. Strip theory is used, but approximate three-dimensional and compressibility corrections can be made without difficulty. Either sharp-edge or arbitrary gusts may be treated.
