The structural response to aerodynamic buffeting during moderate-to-high-g maneuvers was investigated. Dynamic response data measured during a flight loads program were analyzed to obtain power spectra and rms values of response for 19 sensors mounted on the test aircraft. In this paper, peaks in the power spectra of accelerations measured at the wing tips, center of gravity and pilot's seat, and wing vertical shear, bending moment and torsional moments are correlated with natural vibration modes. The amplitudes of response are compared to show effects of angle of attack, sensor type and location, Mach number, and altitude.
