Abstract

This viewgraph presentation provides the results of a feasibility study conducted with four objectives: (1) use turbulence inputs from injury-accident FDR data; (2) assess capability of current aircraft control systems to reduce turbulence-induced acceleration response in the cabin; (3) assess new control law strategies with current (on-board) and advanced (forward-looking) turbulence sensors; (4) identify key issues to practical implementation of these systems. Topics covered include: data analysis of the FDR data, general review of current aircraft systems and requirements, control system development and performance, control system design model, and sensitivity studies.
