Abstract
A method and device for reducing actual loads generated on airplane by an aerodynamic disturbance is provided, the device including means for determining a load exceeding envelope and means for determining deflection orders of airplane control surfaces to reduce loads applied on the latter, when the airplane flies inside the load exceeding envelope. More specifically, a flight envelope of the airplane is determined and used with theoretical loads applied to the aircraft to produce the load exceeding envelope based on couples of the flight envelope with theoretical loads that equal or exceed a load threshold.
