The human centrifuge was used to study the problem of severe turbulence penetration by swept-wing jet transport aircraft. This report discusses the methods employed in producing the ground-based, closed-loop dynamic simulation and the results that were obtained. The Boeing 720-B was selected as the basic aircraft for this simulation because of its extensive use in commercial operations and the availability of the necessary aerodynamic data. A mock-up of the 720 cockpit including functional flight instruments and controls was fabricated and installed upon a hydraulically-activated shake table mounted inside the centrifuge gondola. The centrifuge was used to simulate the long-term accelerations associated with flight path changes. (Author)
