Simulation Study on Effect of Downburst on Operating Performance of Flight

Through the engineering modeling method, this paper establishes a three-dimensional model which can reflect the essential characteristics of microburst. This paper utilizes the present model which is inserted in flight simulator to study the influences on take-off performance, low altitude flight performance, landing performance of the aircraft caused by microburst, and researches the operating performance of the aircraft flying through it. In the present result, microburst can adversely affect the airspeed and latitude of the aircraft. The greater the momentum of aircraft is, the less it impacts.
