In Chap. 6, we present a comprehensive modeling process to obtain a highly accurate nonlinear dynamical model for our unmanned systems, SheLion (also applicable to HeLion). We first derive a minimum-complexity model structure, which covers all the important dynamic features necessary for flight control law design. Based on this structured model, we develop a five-step procedure, a systematic combination of the first-principles and system identification approaches, to determine all the associated model parameters. We then carry out a thorough validation process to verify the fidelity of the flight dynamics model in the wide flight envelope. Finally, we proceed to determine the flight envelope of the obtained flight dynamics model, which is essential before proceeding to conduct flight control law design and flight experiments.
