Various methods of obtaining aerodynamic derivatives are reviewed. These methods include wind-tunnel tests, aerodynamic theory, and extraction from flight tests, with the emphasis being on flight tests. Two techniques for extracting derivatives from flight are covered in sufficient detail to indicate the procedures involved. These methods are a strict least-squares approach and an iteration technique. References are listed for additional background and details of various techniques.
