Abstract

Near Real Time estimation of stability13; (gain and phase) margins using flight test data from13; development flights of a new aircraft facilitates cost effective flight envelope expansion. Methods based13; on FFT, Z-transforms etc. have been proposed to13; meet this requirement. In this paper a new method13; combining FFT techniques and parameter estimation13; in the frequency domain has been used to accurately13; determine the stability margin of the longitudinal axis13; of a FBW fighter aircraft. Typically during initial13; flight tests of a new aircraft only flight data from13; piloted time domain inputs such as doublets or 3-2-1-13; 1 are available for analysis even though sine sweeps13; are the preferred inputs for determining stability13; margins. Further the aircraft response signals due to13; these inputs have lower bandwidth compared to the13; typical gain and phase crossover frequencies of the13; aircraft + control law loop transfer function. Hence13; estimating the stability margins from these low13; bandwidth signals is a challenging problem.
