An analysis of steady wind tunnel data, obtained for a fighter type aircraft, has indicated that shock-induced and trailing-edge separation play a dominant role in the development of Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCO) at transonic speeds. On the basis of these data, a semi-empirical LCO prediction method is being developed. It will be described in its present form and results of the latest predictions will be presented. In particular, an aerodynamic nonlinear state-space model embedded in the LCO prediction method will be demonstrated. The developed aerodynamic model is a semi-empirical, unsteady, nonlinear model which uses experimental data obtained from recent unsteady wind tunnel force and pressure measurements on oscillating fighter type wings.
