A flight testing and system identification program was conducted on the SH-2G helicopter to support the development of a new digital flight control system and piloted simulation. Higher-order state-space models, which include the coupled rotor/fuselage/engine/inflow dynamics, were determined using CIFER (Comprehensive Identification from Frequency Responses) at three airspeeds that span the flight envelope: hover, 60 knots, and 100 knots. This paper discusses the flight testing techniques, the development of a physics-based identification model structure, and identification techniques that are suitable across the flight envelope. The frequency-domain system identification methods commonly used on conventional helicopters are seen to be well suited to flap-controlled rotor configurations. While key SH-2G response characteristics are not well modeled by existing analytical simulations, the flight-identified models for the SH-2G closely match the frequency response flight test database and accurately predict the lime-domain response to control doublet inputs. The identified models are characterized by highly coupled fuselage-rotor dynamics, a high degree of pitch-roll inter-axis control coupling, and important effects of engine dynamics. The identified derivatives vary smoothly with airspeed and are consistent with theoretical predictions for standard hinge-offset rotors.
