System Identification of a Nonlinear Flight Dynamics Model for a Small, Fixed-Wing UAV

This thesis describes the development of a nonlinear flight dynamics model for a small, fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Models developed for UAVs can be used for many applications including risk analysis, controls system design and flight simulators. Several challenges exist for system ide...
