Verifying Implementation of the Dryden Turbulence Model and MIL-F-8785 Gust Gradient

Abstract: Turbulence modeling in human-in-the-loop simulation is important to assessing aircraft handling qualities and pilot performance and to provide additional realism for pilot training. In the simulation community, the Dryden turbulence spectra is a popular choice for modeling the linear turbulent gusts because its rational form is efficiently reproduced by passing white noise through linear filters. The MIL-F-8785 gust gradients similarly use additional linear filters to model the gradient of th…
