The accuracy of aircraft stability and control derivatives as estimated from dynamic response measurements depends on the form of the time histories of the control inputs. After selecting a suitable criterion and imposing constraints on either the aircraft's state or the control inputs it is possible to optimize the form of these time histories. A method for control input optimization is proposed which avoids some disadvantages of earlier methods and was successfully applied in the design of longitudinal and lateral flight test maneuvers.
