Abstract
The present report is part of a "Manual" on aircraft loads, that is being prepared by NLR. It contains a computer program, to be used in combination with "MATLAB4 for Windows" (Student Edition) software, to study aircraft loading due to turbulence. It includes a simple aircraft response model with two rigid and three flexible symmetric degrees of freedom and allows calculation of various structural response due to discrete 1-cos) gusts as well as continuous turbulence. The program is intended as a "tool" which will also be extensively used in a next report to be prepared, dealing with gust loads and requirements.
