Aerodynamic Parameter Estimation

The book intends to apprise the potential research addressees of the system identification arena system especially aerospace systems. Most commonly understood aerospace system i.e., an airplane has always been a metal bird with infinite challenges and opportunities for establishing technological excellence. Since their first encounter with mankind, numerous researchers have rendered their life towards realizing the unexplored potential of airplane.The essential objective of the current effort is to contribute towards the enhancement of application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) on non-linear aerospace problems like a flight at elevated angles of attack close to stall and flight in the presence of the ground effect. There exist a number of procedures for the determination of aerodynamic derivatives by employing the information retrieved as a result of practical flight tests. The popular conventional methods are the Output Error Method (OEM), Filter Error Method (FEM), Equation Error Method (EEM), whereas renowned data driven methods are Delta method and GPR-Delta technique.
