Estimation of airplane stability and control derivatives from large amplitude longitudinal maneuvers

James G. Batterson

Abstract

The application of a modified stepwise regression algorithm to both a complete data string and to that same data partitioned into bins as a function of angle of attack was demonstrated. Results from the large-scale maneuver agree well with results from 20 maneuvers in which small perturbation from trim at various angles of attack were induced.
