During flight-mechanical experiments with unmanned aircraft, scientists and students are often faced with the challenge of configuring the aircraft system completely. However, their focus should only be on the testing of new flight control laws or flying qualities, not on setting up or programming flight control computers. Although these are valuable experiences, they cost a lot of time in the development process. With the Unmanned Aircraft Experimental System, a flying laboratory is available, which is completely preconfigured for flight tests. In addition to the physical aircraft, a flight mechanical model and a MATLAB/Simulink model for flight control law implementation are part of the system. This paper presents the capability of the system. An overview of the overall system is provided and possible applications for flight mechanical experiments (system identification) and the implementation of flight controllers are demonstrated.
