Abstract
Report presenting flight testing with two jet-propelled airplanes in rough air to investigate effects of sweep on gust loads and gust selectivity. Data was taken with an unswept-wing airplane and a 35 degree swept-wing airplane for incremental accelerations corresponding to airspeeds of 300 and 450 miles per hour. The results indicated that the swept-wing airplane experienced lower loads in turbulent air than the unswept-wing airplane.
