Extract

For the satisfactory understanding of the mechanical effects which occur in an aircraft landing in a gusty wind it is necessary to know something of the time-scale of the wind fluctuations during the moments when the aircraft is touching down. Such information can only be given on a statistical basis but it so happens that there is a body of data on the subject which may not be generally appreciated.
