The statistical approach to the gust-loads problem, which consists in considering flight th1ough turbulent air to be a stationary random process, is extended by including the effect of lateral variations of the instantaneous gust intensity on the aerodynamic forces and on the resultant motions and stresses of rigid and flexible airplanes. By means of some calculations of normal and rolling accelerations, as well as of the root bending moment, it is shown that these effects may be significant for large airplanes.
