Dassault Falcon 2000LX ISTAR - Flight Data Gathering and DCC for System Identification - V 1.00

Abstract

The DLR aircraft Dassault Falcon 2000LX ISTAR is designed as research platform for new flight control and pilot assistance systems. For this purpose, an accurate flight dynamic model of the aircraft is needed. This model is used for hardware in the loop testing and for the flight preparation in a ground simulator of the ISTAR aircraft. Well-proven system identification methods are applied for the creation of this flight dynamic model. System identification maneuvers are executed at different flight test points across the flight envelope. Flight data measured during these maneuvers is processed and corrected for sensor errors. For this correction a Data Compatibility Check (DCC) was performed. For this process the measured acceleration and rates are integrated to calculate reconstruct air data values which are used as reference signals for the measured ones. This report summarizes the gathered flight data, gives an overview of the flight test sensors and presents the results of the DCC.
