Abstract

Measured time histories of atmospheric turbulence have been analysed. Distribution functions and exceedance curves of the turbulence and its derivative are presented. The load exceedance curves of various mathematical airplane models due to these turbulence patches have been calculated. Deviations of the properties of these patches from the assumed properties used In the P.S.D.-method are investigated.
