Abstract
THE highly complex character of the gust‐load problem and the lack of knowledge of gust structure have led to the general use of gust‐strength criteria for aeroplane wings that are based on the concept of a “sharp‐edged” gust in which the aerodynamic phenomena are assumed to obey the laws of steady flow.

Abstract
FROM the standpoint of the structural design of transport or “non‐acrobatic” aeroplanes, which never need be subjected to manoeuvres more severe than the very mild turns, etc., required to achieve a given destination, the “bumps” experienced in flying through “rough” air are of considerable importance, since they give rise to the structural loads for which the wings should be designed. In the past, practically no quantitative information on the structure of the atmosphere in its relations to applied loads on the aeroplane has existed. To supply this deficiency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics is conducting an investigation of the accelerations obtained in flight through rough air on a number of transport aeroplanes flying regular scheduled trips. Only a small amount of information has been obtained to date. Enough has been accumulated, however, to throw considerable light on the subject of applied load factors in rough air. With the object of presenting this information this note has been prepared.

A CONFERENCE between manufacturers and representatives of the Aeronautics Branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce was held on September 14 to discuss certain proposed changes in the airworthiness requirements of Aeronautics Bulletin No. 7‐A (the current issue of which is dated January 1933) which were put forward by the Department.

Abstract
DEAR SIR,—I read with much interest Mr. J. H. Crowe's article on Longitudinal Stability, which was published in the March issue of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING. It forms a useful summary of present‐day knowledge on the glider stability problem, but is rather misleading in the section devoted to the effects of slipstream.
