Abstract

In this paper data partitioning method is applied to concatenated Large amplitude manoeuvres (LAM) of a fighter aircraft to estimate its stabiLity and control derivatives. Stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) is utilized to determine the model structure within each partitioned data set. It is shown that the procedure with data generated from a research simulator, yields a useful method for estimating the pitch up tendency exhibited b), the aircraft during certain angle of attack (AOA) range. The SMLR is also applied to estimate non-linear aerodynamic derivatives of the aircraft from LAM data. The method is applied to reaL LAM data of the aircraft and gives reasonably consistent estimates of the aerodynamic derivatives. Results using model error method for the longitudinal derivatives from LAMs are also presented.
