Gusts Encountered by Flying Vehicles in Proximity to Buildings by Abdulghani Mohamed, Matthew Marino, Simon Watkins, Justin Jaworski, Anya Jones

“…The analysis showed that fixed-wing aircraft experienced a substantial increase in angle of attack over a relatively short period of time (<1 s) as they fly through the shear layer at a representative forward velocity, which can be well above typical stall angles. …”
