Light Airplane Flight Parameters Estimation
This thesis is focused on a light airplane flight parameter estimation, specially aimed at the Evektor SportStar RTC. For the purposes of flight parameter estimation the Equation Error Method, Output Error Method and Recursive Least-Squares methods were used. This thesis is focused on the investigation of the characteristics of the flight parameters of longitudinal motion and the verification, that this estimated parameters corresponds to the measured data and thus create a prerecquisite for a sufficiently accurate airplane model. The estimated flight parameters are compared to the a-priori values obtained using the Tornado, AVL and Datcom softwares. The differences between the a-priori values and estimated flight parameters are also compared to the correction factors published for the subsonic flight regime of an F-18 Hornet model.
