A technique for gust load alleviation (GLA) flight testing that will approximate a turbulence-like excitation of the wing has been devised. An artificial excitation is produced by randomly deflecting inboard control surfaces on the wing, thereby producing incremental loads on the wing. This presentation covers the background and development of the flight test technique and analyses performed to date.
