Flight tests and simulations were performed using conventional and dynamic techniques based on inertial measurements. The use of inertial sensors in flight testing implies that specific forces and body rates are determined which are directly employed in the flight path reconstruction procedure. This procedure uses the equations of motion governing flight. After this step aerodynamics model identification can take place. In flight simulation, the opposite process occurs. From the available aerodynamic and engine model specific forces and angular accelerations can be computed. Then the equations of motion can be integrated in order to determine the flight path. Consequently there is a strong similarity in the way flight test results are processed and reduced in order to obtain aerodynamic information and the way simulations are executed using a given model.
