As a necessary precursor to a heliogyro solar sail flight demonstration, meaningful ground test experiments are necessary for predicting the linear and nonlinear structural dynamics of the heliogyro membrane blades in flight. This paper describes analytical comparisons of linear and nonlinear behavior of a multi-link discrete model of a heliogyro blade under 1-g gravitational and centrifugal loads, and one setup for experimental validation of 1-g out-of-plane motion. Linear system-identification is performed on the multi-link experimental data to validate the 1-g multi-link model of a heliogyro membrane blade.
