To extract stability derivative from flight test data, moments and product of inertia were measured on F-106A aircraft; spring oscillation method used gave valid results for pitching and rolling moments of inertia and for inclination of principal axes; yawing moments of inertia were not satisfactory; combination of experimental results with analytical methods used to produce final set of moments and product of inertia; new approach to experimental problem described.
