Abstract
By application of the analytical method to a wide range of current aircraft types an approximate form of the method is developed for the quick estimation of tail load maxima and associated torques during the checked manoeuvre and the same is also confirmed for the unchecked manoeuvre of Ref. (3). Numerical values of critical elevator actions to be associated with the airworthiness design case are considered and hence, from a comparison with the approximate method, the limitations of the present empirical approach given in British and American civil airworthiness regulations are brought to light.
