Abstract

The problem of flight tests of wing loading spectrum for gliders is discussed. The method of load recording and of flight data processing are described for aerobatics as a fraction of the operational pattern. The measured load spectra for particular manoeuvres and the method of using them as the input data for the ground fatigue test programme are for a particular example, namely the SZD-51-1 "Junior" club-class glider.
