Abstract:Due to the characteristic of large ratio wing of civil aircrafts, gust load often composes of the severe conditions of civil aircrafts. And it must be emphasized by all countries’ airworthiness regulations. Moreover, owing to the elasticity of the aircraft structure, gust disturbance induces the elastic vibrations, reduces the structure stress, produces the fatigue damage, and even promote flutter. Thus it is of very importance and significance to investigate and research in gust load and gust load alleviation technologies in flight load design. This paper gives a brief introduction of gust load theories and the relevant technologies and also puts forward a type of gust load alleviation of method direct lift control to carry out gust load alleviation of the wing.
