Building a Thorp T-18 Spectrum from Recorded Flight Data Using AFGROW Spectrum Manager
In this video adaptation of his presentation from the 2024 AFGROW User workshop, Jim Harter shares his experience assembling and repairing a Thorp T-18 and demonstrates a sample of how one can build a spectrum from flight data from scratch. From calculating the wing loading and determining the critical control point to analyzing prediction results for damage by flight conditions, Jim walks us through the entire process of running a custom solution with a personally generated stress spectrum in AFGROW.
