A Correlation between Flight-determined Longitudinal and Lateral Derivatives and Wind Tunnel Data for the Pilatus PC 9/A Training Aircraft in Approach and Departure Configurations

Abstract

A series of flight tests were conducted on the PC 9/A aircraft, A23-045, at the Royal Australian Air Force's Aircraft Research and Development Unit. System identification techniques were applied to the data obtained from these flight tests to determine the stability and control derivatives of the aircraft. The longitudinal and lateral results for the aircraft in approach and departure configurations are presented in this report and comparisons are made with wind tunnel estimates.
