Tomlinson, B.N. Institution Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Date 1971-09-30 Abstract Several aspects of the simulation of flight in turbulence are reviewed, including mathematical models of aircraft response to turbulence, models and measured properties of atmospheric turbulence, and the subjective reactions of the human pilot. Pilots appear to be particularly sensitive to the large, intermittent, peaks that occur in the aircraft response to turbulence. Conventional gust generators, which have Gaussian statistical properties, do not adequately represent the intermittent structure of atmospheric turbulence. A proposed design for an improved gust generator, incorporating non-linear transformation of a Gaussian process, is outlined.
