The longitudinal aerodynamic derivatives of the F-8 aircraft with supercritical wing were obtained from flight data by a parameter-extraction algorithm at Mach numbers of 0.8, 0.9, and 0.98. A set of derivatives were obtained from which calculated aircraft responses were correlated almost identically with actual flight responses. In general, the trends of the extracted derivatives obtained by the algorithm agreed with those obtained by a Newton-Raphson method and with preliminary data from the Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel. The wind-tunnel damping derivatives were, however, substantially higher than the converged damping derivatives possibly because of Reynolds number differences between flight and model tests.
