Where to Find Time Periods of Phugoid Motion for Aircrafts

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding time periods of phugoid motion for various aircraft, including the Boeing 747-200. The user has developed a simulation program and seeks validation against existing data but struggles to locate reliable sources for this information. Responses indicate that such data is often proprietary, making it difficult to access. However, approximate time periods, like the 93 seconds for the 747, are mentioned as potentially useful. The conversation highlights the need for more accessible data on aircraft motion characteristics.

Hello, I have made program for simulating aircraft motion.
I am able to obtain natural modes of motion like phugoid, short phugoid, etc.
but to check whether it is simulating correctly, I need to validate it with some existing data,
so i tried to compare the time period of phugoid of Boeing 747-200 with some data but it seems nowhere on the internet I am able to obtain the time periods of phugoid motion of different aircrafts like boeing 747, cessna 182, beechcraft 99, etc.
Can somebody suggest a good source where this data will available ? or atleast tell the reason why such time period data is hard to obtain ?

Even approximate time periods will be helpful.

Thanks.

It will be hard because it is probably proprietary.
 
Thanks for the reply. But can i get approximate time periods like after searching i found that 747 has phugoid time period of about 93 seconds.
Like so and so family of aircrafts have phugoid time periods in so and so range ?
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
