The frequency characteristics and statistical properties of the buffet loads measured on the unswept wing and tail of a fighter airplane have been studied in the stall and in the shock regime. The results indicate that the wing loads in buffeting can be treated as the Gaussian response of a simple elastic system. The tail loads appear to represent a more complicated pattern.

An investigation has been made to determine the effect of wing fences, a wing leading-edge extension, changing wing sweepback angle from 40 to 45 and 50 degrees, fuselage contouring, and varying horizontal tail height upon the buffeting response of some typical airplane configurations employing sweptback wings with high aspect ratios. The tests were conducted through an angle-of-attack range at Mach numbers varying from 0.60 to 0.92 at a Reynolds number of 2 million.

The vast majority of vibrations encountered in the real environment are random in nature. Such vibrations are intrinsically complicated and this volume describes the process that enables us to simplify the required analysis, along with the analysis of the signal in the frequency domain. The power spectrum density is also defined, together with the requisite precautions to be taken in its calculations as well as the processes (windowing, overlapping) necessary to obtain improved results. An additional complementary method – the analysis of statistical properties of the time signal – is also described. This enables the distribution law of the maxima of a random Gaussian signal to be determined and simplifies the calculation of fatigue damage by avoiding direct peak counting.
