A novel radical shape change approach (Aerodynamically Actuated Radical Shape Change concept) was developed at NASA Langley Research Center. The radical shape change enables cruise at a lowered altitude of 15-25,000 feet and yields substantial performance and environmental benefits. This lowered altitude has however raised concerns in the community due to past experience with decreased ride quality in this altitude range. This paper describes the analysis performed by the team to address this concern. First, the team assessed and quantified turbulence occurrence as a function of altitude. Secondly, the team analyzed the effects of turbulence gust loads on the proposed concept when compared to conventional aircraft.
