FitlabGui - a Versatile Tool for Data Analysis, System Identification and Helicopter Handling Qualities Analysis

Kurzfassung

Traditionally, the DLR Institute of Flight Systems operates both fixed- and rotary-wing flying test vehicles. The research topics associated with these vehicles include time and frequency domain data analysis, simulation model development for flight control law design, and handling qualities evaluation. Over the years, the MATLAB-based software FitlabGui was developed that allows to perform these tasks with a single tool. The paper describes the functionality of FitlabGui and illustrates the software with application examples from different research projects conducted at DLR.
