The application of the maximum likelihood method to estimate the aerodynamic parameters of elastic flight vehicles in a symmetric flight condition is discussed. In this application, particular attention is directed toward the center of mass, elastic deformation, and sensor equations of motion. It is shown that the two major computational problems to be overcome are the inversion of large-sized matrices and the time-wise integration of a large number of linear, ordinary, differential equations.
