A technique of defining an accurate perforairplane from limited flight-test data and predicted aerody-namic and propulsion system characteristics is developed. With the modeling technique, flight-test data from level accelerations are used to define a 1g perforentire flight envelope of an F-104G airplane. The performance model is defined in terms of the thrust and drag of the airplane and can be varied with changes in ambient temperature or airplane weight. The model predicts the performance of the airplane within 5en1 percent of the measured flight-test data. The modeling technique could substantially reduce the time required for performance flight testing and produce a clear definition of the thrust and drag characteristics of an airplane. (Author)
