7、-exceed gross weight.3.1.3 powered parachute, naircraft comprised of a flex-ible or semi-rigid wing connected to a fuselage in such a waythat the wing is not in position for flight until the aircraft is inmotion that aircraft has a fuselage with seats, engine, andwheels (or floats), such that the wi

8、ng and engine cannot beflown without the wheels (or floats) and seat(s). Unique to thepowered parachute is the large displacement between thecenter of lift (high) and the center of gravity (low), which ispendulum effect. Pendulum effect limits angle of attachchanges, provides stall resistance and ma

31、designer shall be known as “pass-through” information.5.2.2 Load Factor:5.2.2.1 Positiven = 2.25 (comprised of a 1.5 maneuveringload multiplied by a 1.5 gust load factor). The maneuveringload must be increased for any conditions for which thefollowing equation indicates a g loading higher than 1.5 g

32、s.The calculated g load shall then be used as the maneuveringload. Maneuvering Load Factor: N = 1/cos(B), where B=arctan (RT 3 V/1255), where RT is turning rate in degrees persecond, and V is true airspeed in mph. For example, V =26mph, RT = 60/s (360 turn in 6 s), N =1.595. N 1.5 and themaneuvering

33、 load factor rises to 1.595. As a result, the limitload is 1.5 3 1.595 = 2.393 gs.

This willbe a “dead drop” test at maximum takeoff weight.5.2.8 Nose Wheel ConditionsA 2.25 times maximumloaded static load vertical in each case with 1.8 times maxi-mum static load applied at the axle acting aft, or 0.9 times

38、maximum static load at the axle acting forward, or 1.57 timesmaximum static load acting at the surface as a side load.
