The NASA Langley Research Center Flight Dynamics Branch has a long history of experimental testing of aircraft and spacecraft flight dynamics. One of the frequently used wind tunnel test methods is forced oscillation testing. This method involves a model mounted on a specialized dynamic test rig in a tunnel and oscillated about a body axis, typically at a fixed sinusoidal frequency and amplitude. This report provides the derivation of two commonly used data reduction methods and introduces one new method to extract the linear dynamic derivatives from forced oscillation wind tunnel data.
