Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to modeling of jet transport aircraft. Initially, basic mathematical models of jet transport are derived. Afterwards by focusing on the bank angle system of the jet transport, considering the aileron as the input, adverse methods of identification are utilized to estimate parameters of the system in an online manner. Then, effects of different types of noise on identification process are analyzed. Eventually, effects of time varying parameters are discussed. Recursive least squares method and its extended version, covariance resetting and forgetting factor methods were the fundamental tools in the system identification process of jet transport. Comprehensive simulations are presented and cast some light on effectiveness and disadvantages of different approaches.
