Introduction
In the synthesis of automatic controllers of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as for other dynamic moving vehicles a mathematical model of motion should be used. Advanced utilization of the vehicle dynamics is only possible if a control system is designed considering as exact as possible characteristics of the vehicle. The proper design of the controller is critical to the safety and before in-flight tests safe operation and landing must be considered.
Identification of the model of an aircraft dynamics is the most reliable method to obtain a model of motion. Theoretical analysis and laboratory (wind tunnel) tests are costly and do not include effects of some phenomena occurring in real flight. However, an in-flight experiment with only little known object is very risky.
