STOL aircraft response to turbulence generated by a tall upwind building

The prediction of aircraft response to wind shear and turbulence on the landing approach has been addressed by several authors recently. The present paper reports on the application of the turbulence correlation technique to the prediction of the influence of building-induced turbulence on the landing approach of aircraft. This technique is based on a linear theory; hence the concurrent effect of building-induced wind shear can be analyzed separately and then added to the turbulence response to produce the aircraft's overall response to the wind.
