Relative influence of various wind-profile properties on launch vehicle design and operation is studied; emphasis is on influence of wind shears and turbulence on dynamic response during boost phase of flight; 407 individual detailed (Jim-sphere) wind profiles are primary wind inputs for analysis; time response of vehicle to each profile is computed and statistical evaluation of results made; it was found that small-scale windshear effects should be included in structural design, especially for forward vehicle stations, and that profiles with high wind speeds and moderates wind shears create high structural loads at all stations.
