Abstract
Several parameter/state estimation methods for determination of drag polars from flight data are described and evaluated for unstable/augmented aircraft. The model-based and non-model-based approaches are considered. The roller coaster and wind-up-turn maneuver dynamic response data are generated in a flight simulator at various flight conditions and the typical performance results are presented. A novel approach to estimate the drag polar has been considered and evaluated. It is found that the non-model-based approaches perform better than the model-based approaches. Classically the model-based approaches have been used for determination of drag polars. The merits of the non-model-based approach are that it does not require specifying the detailed model of the aerodynamic coefficients and it can be suitably used for on-line estimation of drag polars from the flight data.
