Compared with the forced oscillation test in a conventional wind tunnel test, the wind tunnel virtual flight test can achieve partially constrained dynamic motion of the model in the wind tunnel by manipulating the control surface deflection. In this paper, a new four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) wind tunnel virtual flight test device is established. Compared with the 3-DOF wind tunnel virtual flight test with rotation around the center of mass, the model adds vertical motion, enabling it to simulate free flight more realistically. In this paper, the nonlinear flight dynamics model of 4-DOF wind tunnel virtual flight test is established, the differences in dynamics characteristics between it and free flight are analyzed, and the identification model of aerodynamic derivatives based on 4-DOF wind tunnel virtual flight test is derived. To ensure the safety of the test, the longitudinal altitude control law as well as the sideslip and roll angle control laws in the lateral direction are designed. Finally, a set of aerodynamic parameter identification methods based on a 4-DOF wind tunnel virtual flight test is formed. The output error method is used to identify the aerodynamic derivatives of the test model, and the accuracy of the identification results is higher than that of the 3-DOF wind tunnel virtual flight test.
