Identification of the Longitudinal Stability and Control Parameters of the YT-2B Airplane

Abstract

This report presents the results of a program undertaken with the Naval Air Development Center (NADC) to analyze flight test data obtained from a Navy YT-2B aircraft, instrumented and operated by NADC. The objectives of this program are to estimate the longitudinal stability and control parameters of the YT-2B, from digitally recorded flight data, collected and supplied by NADC, using an iterated Kalman filter/fixed-point smoother parameter identification algorithm. A linear, constant coefficient, small perturbation equations-of- motion model is used to represent the characteristics of the YT-2B.
