Abstract
This paper presents the results of real time aircraft parameter estimation technology in an aircraft real time simulator. The equation error Recursive Least Squares (RLS) method is used for performing the parameter estimation. The RLS technique is successfully adapted for on-line parameter estimation by a novel methodology that will work when measurements of state derivatives are not available. Subsequently, the algorithm is implemented in Lab VIEW and in digital signal processor (DSP) hardware to demonstrate its suitability for further implementation at flight test centers and for on-board parameter estimation for aircraft.
