An Approach to the Isolation and Control of Vibration in Light Business Aircraft

This paper presents an approach utilized by a light business aircraft manufacturer in resolving vibrational problems. The discussion relates the principle sources of vibration; objective briefly explores the consideration of priority in the operational range of the aircraft. The approach phases--preventive measures, theoretical application, and practical application--are illustrated through an actual vibration problem solution. It is concluded that this approach has proved satisfactory and that the importance of the practical aspect cannot be underestimated.
