The load factor increments for a Boeing 720 aircraft were recorded using a flight data recorder. Measurements were made of altitude and airspeed during 620 hours of flight tests. The vertical gust velocities were derived by assuming a von Karman spectrum of turbulence and by means of the transfer function of the aircraft. The transfer function was calculated for eight degrees of freedom. The results are presented in functions of flight altitudes, routes of operation, and flight segments. (Author)
