Abstract
This paper presents the results from the equivalent static load method applied to gust response optimisation of an aircraft wing. Through the different optimisation runs, it is assessed that gust load cases can be critical and are difficult to constrain with the sole use of static load cases. Several cases are evaluated with different gust parameters and wing boundary conditions. Effects of control efficiency and engine location are also studied.
