Abstract

This thesis develops a methodology for correcting wind-tunnel derived aerodynamic models from dynamic flight-test data. It develops equations for extracting aerodynamic coefficients from the data, an accurate atmospheric model, plus a way to filter the poor quality coefficients from the results. A Cruciform Aerodynamic Model is proposed; and with it, a method to compare and correct the model from flight-test data.
