Mitigation of Gust Loads Through Pitching
Wind gusts can cause large loads on aerial vehicles, affecting their controllability and hindering their performance. The negative impact is especially significant for small vehicles, which experience relatively stronger gusts due to their low speeds. This raises the necessity of a control approach …

Utility of Quasi-Static Gust Loads Certification Methods for Novel Configurations
Aeroelastic gust and maneuver loads have driven the sizing of primary aircraft structures since the beginning of aviation. Methodologies for determining the gust loads on aircraft have evolved over the last 100 years. There are three general approaches to gust loads analysis: quasi-static, …

An Ameliorated Prediction of the Empennage In-Flight Gust Loads for a General Aviation Aircraft
… that can be used to derive airplane wing loads. ACE-100 describes an acceptable method for determining the fatigue life of an empennage based on the same normal acceleration data provided in AFS-120. However, this data have not been demonstrated to be applicable for empennage loads.</p> …

Novel Airframe Design for the Dual-Aircraft Atmospheric Platform Flight Concept
… in a flight envelope diagram with applied gust loads per the Federal Aviation Regulations. The innovative tandem-wing design exhibits exceptional performance characteristics required for the flight concept.</p>

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wing–Vortex Gust Encounters
Wind gusts induce severe unsteady loads on low-speed aerodynamic devices, limiting the usability of small, slow-flying aircraft such as drones. Expanding the range of conditions under which these aircraft can safely operate requires control systems that can provide the necessary mitigating actions …

Vibration and Buckling Analysis of Unitized Structure Using Meshfree Method and Kriging Model
… structures are subjected to random pressure loads in nature and cannot be assumed to be deterministic. Typical engineering structures include buildings and towers, offshore structures, vehicles and ships, are subjected to random pressure. The vibrations induced from gust loads, engine noise, …
