Abstract
Development of UAV technologies has been the focus of many advanced programs in both military and commercial applications. This paper describes the UAV development plan at the University of Washington and its implementation. A method for extracting aerodynamic stability derivatives from flight-test data is presented. Estimates of lift coefficient derivatives compare well with those obtained in wind-tunnel tests. Future improvements envisionned for the flight-test vehicle and potential follow-on UAV projects are presented.
