Model aircraft flight test investigations have been undertaken to develop a low cost flight data acquisition system and to evaluate aerodynamic parameter estimation techniques. The externally piloted vehicles (EPVs) used are instrumented with sensors measuring acceleration, angular rates, angles of attack and sideslip, flight path velocity, and control deflections. Measured state variables are downlink telemetered to a ground-based real time flight data acquisition system; the data thus recorded are used by flight test engineers and EPV pilots to monitor conditions and aid in piloting tasks. Attention is given to comparisons of F-16 EPV data with wind tunnel data.
