A gust load is conventionally analysed by assuming the gust

  • A.Changes the aircraft's weight
  • B.Reduces the wing area
  • C.Alters the engine thrust
  • D.It changes the wing's angle of attack

Answer: D

A vertical gust adds a velocity component normal to the flight path, changing the effective angle of attack and so the lift. The resulting load-factor increment is what the gust envelope captures, and for large transports it frequently exceeds the manoeuvre case.
