Simulation of loads on a flexible aircraft during a gust passage.

Simulation of loads on a flexible aircraft during a gust passage.
One of the research areas of the Institute of Flight Systems is the development of control systems to reduce loads that occur during gusts or in turbulence. The picture shows the simulation of a gust encounter with a flexible, high-winged aircraft. The simulation illustrates the wing bending moment occurring during the gust encounter and the moulding of the aircraft.
