Abstract

Analysing the action of atmospheric turbulence on aircraft for the determination of limit and fatigue loads is an essential stage in the structural design process. These calculations are governed by regulations, the evolution of which is of great importance to the aeronautical industry. The aim of this paper is to present the various calculation methods used for the preliminary dimensioning, substantiation and certification of aircraft, and to assess, on the basis of aircraft response studies and comparisons of loads calculated, the repercussions of the progress which has been made in recent years. Moreover, the regulatory requirements currently in force internationally, though often disparate and unbalanced, are now aimed at standardisation as a result of the impetus of both the airworthiness authorities and the aeronautical industry. Against this background, we propose a new calculation method developed on the basis of results obtained at Aerospatiale.
